Anyone wishes to have a good life. Today's passage says the secret how to have a good step in life. How can man have a blessed life?
The first is to avoid evil ways. Man is not supposed to fall away rapidly but to be drawn to evil gradually. Thus, it is important to be on the watch and to get away from evil ways actively.
The second is to delight in the word, to long for the word first. Not to say anything about the worship service, but also devotion, a daily personal worship, is indispensable. And to meditate the word day and night. It is important not to keep the word of Christ somewhere, but to let it dwell in our heart.
When you have these things in mind and practice them, your heart is getting rich, and you can have a fruitful life. Man tries to find happiness in various things, but the key is in the word of God. Let us be such ones who delight in the word and practice it, and have a blessed life.
