Psalm 1:1 - "How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers!"
Often, the first place of compromised faith is perpetuating Satan's question to Eve, "Did God really say ...?" (Genesis 3:1) Once he can get us to question God, then we begin to scoff at His directives. Once firmly seated in unbelief, we will find ourselves standing at the crossroads of God's way or “in the path of sinners." Many have lost their way as they begin down this path. The road is broad with multitudes to counsel with along the way. Surely, those who continue down this path state that "there is no God" by both their words and actions (Psalm 14:1).
Not so for the humble of heart who choose to seat themselves with Christ (Ephesians 2:6). By submitting ourselves to the wisdom of God rather than our own perceived "knowledge," we shield our hearts from sitting, standing, and then walking away from God. Beloved, our ultimate fate will depend on where we decide to rest today – either in the seat of scoffers or with Christ through His redemption.
