“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season” Psalm 1:1-3, NKJV.

In these times, be strong as a man. There may be harsh climate all around you, but God won’t let you wither. You are blessed!

The Father calls you blessed simply because you delight in Him and what He says. You’re blessed by walking in character, even in hard times. You are admired for loving your wife and making sacrifices for her. You are blessed for submitting to God’s will and He promotes you as He causes others to recognize your faithfulness. You’re blessed because no matter where you are, at your job or in prison, you don’t have to worry. The Lord is with you! The Lord is on your side and you don’t have to fear man. You are favored. You are a blessed man because of Jesus, and whom the son sets free is free indeed.

Go forth in great confidence. You will bear fruit in this hour and in your season. You are blessed!

Prayer: Father, I praise You! Let me never forget what causes me to be blessed. It’s my delight in your word. It’s Jesus in my life. Since I do, I will always end up increasing, favored, protected, and provided for. Help me to follow you today and make me an example of how you always bless the man who delights in you! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
