Walk This Way

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord , and who meditates on his law day and night. Psalm 1:1‭-‬2 NIV

I recently hurt my back somehow. Ok not somehow. It was while I was teaching Jazzercise or taking taekwondo. My body sometimes cannot keep up with my desired level of rigorous, physical activity. My back hurts to the point of sending pain down one leg making it difficult to walk anywhere, much less get myself in trouble. So I could take this verse a couple ways.

I liken it to the fact that right now walking is difficult. I'm going to choose very carefully where and why I have to go anywhere that requires moving my feet. If it's not 100% necessary, it ain't happening. So should we react when we think about making decisions that would lead us down a path God cant follow, and won't. We should tread carefully where our actions are concerned and be crystal clear why we must go or do anything. It's the only way to be sure we hear God's voice when we need to and abide by his word.

Or he could be telling me to sit down, shut up and listen to him by dwelling on his word. Of course we should be doing that anyway, yes?
