S - ScripturePsalm 1 v. 1a Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the wicked.
O - Observation
Choose your advisers, your friends carefully. I think it’s interesting to note, that this verse uses the verb, "walks" vs. listen. Walking is a lot like the old adage, Birds of a feather flock together. So what is the counsel of the wicked? Well, the obvious human view is the robbers, the drunkards, the prostitutes, the killers, those that deserve jail and punishment. But that is the human point of view. God's instruction is much more deeper. God's definition of wicked is anyone who does not follow and meditate on his word. This narrows down the field even more. We need to find, select friends who walk with God. We need to seek their counsel. After all, the advantage of counsel from a Godly person is that they will seek God for input to an issue.
A - Application
Who am I walking with?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Surround me with a great support structure of Christian friends. Love Will
