Without doubt, Tyndale House Publishers’ book is one of the best. Its title is The Best of the Bible – 365 Must – Read Bible Passages, 1996 The Livingstone Corporation. The following is today’s passage:

Oh, the joys of those
who do not follow the advice of the wicked?
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with acoffers,
But delight in doing everything the Lord wants;
day and night they think about his law.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
Bearing fruit each season without fail.
Their leaves never wither,
and in all they do, they prosper

But this is not true of the wicked.
They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.

For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.


What kind of person do you really want to be?

God doesn’t judge people on the basis of race, sex, or national origin. He judges them on the basis of their faith in him and their response to his revealed will. Those who diligently try to obey God are blessed.

They are like healthy, fruit-bearing trees with strong roots, and God promises to watch over them. God’s wisdom guides their lives. In contrast, those who don’t trust and obey God have meaningless lives that blow away like dust.

There are only two paths of life before you - God’s way of obedience or the way of rebellion and destruction. Be sure to choose God’s path because the path you choose determines how you will spend eternity.
