Daily Devotional: Psalms 1:1-6

Psalms 1:1-6


Philippians 4:8-9


Luke 6:45


We get out what we put in. This is true with almost everything in life. In sports, we win when we put enough into practice and the game. In cooking, we get good results when we put the right ingredients in the right proportions and cook at the correct temperature. With sewing, we get good garments when we use good material and the right pattern. So it is in our lives. We get out what we put in.

If we fill our minds with the word of God and things that are wholesome, true and pure, we get a spiritual and godly life. If we constantly fill our hearts with the filth, trash and ungodliness that pervades our media (whether music, movies, TV, books, magazines, the internet or social media), we will find ourselves thinking and acting ungodly. We need to study and meditate on the word of God.

O God, as we embark on a new year, give me a heart that longs for your word and things that are wholesome, pure, true and godly. Help me feed my mind in a way that will make me more like you and give me an abhorrence for that which is evil and opposed to you. As I meditate on your love and your kindness, help me be more loving and kind to those around me. I thank you for blessing me with such a loving family and so many loving friends and I ask you to help me always treat them in a way that shows your love. Help me be more patient, understanding and forgiving. I pray in the name of Jesus my Redeemer and Lord.
