Understand Psalms 1:6 What is it saying to you

Good Day, Beloveds,

The Word of God is not limited to the Bible, but the Bible contains the Word of God. This word is supernatural and should impact your life in every way. There are promises made in this world, and they will always be fulfilled: blessings for the righteous and curses for the unrighteous/wicked. If you haven’t already done so, please start by reading Psalms 1, verses 1 to 5 (find the link at the end of this teaching), as we have already gone through that teaching.

Verse 6 of Psalm 1 shares a promise from God, and His word does not change. God promised to watch over the path of the godly—not just the good, but the godly. He also warns that the path of the wicked leads to destruction. You might be thinking, "I see many wicked people, and they don't seem to face destruction."

However, this does not change the truth of God's word. The presence of wealth does not mean there is no destruction. The verse states that the path of the wicked leads to destruction, indicating that, eventually, this is the outcome for the wicked. If not in this life, it will surely happen in eternity.

**Psalms 1:6 (NLT):**  
For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

This scripture will only resonate with you if you fear the Lord. For someone who does not, it may just seem like mere words. Sadly, many people are shocked when certain areas of their lives are not going well—be it in relationships, mental or physical health, finances, careers, spiritual life, and more. We often refer to these as life challenges instead of destruction, and we tend to normalize them.

I’m not saying that a godly person won't experience difficulties, but those experiences are very different. The reason is that God is watching over their path. Thus, difficulties for the godly cannot lead to destruction because God is leading, watching, and protecting them. These are the benefits of being a godly person; God has committed to ensuring that your path is good.

However, be careful not to read this scripture in isolation or out of context. We know that weapons will be formed on this path, but they will not prosper. We also know that many will persecute us and that the enemy is always present to steal, kill, and destroy. Nonetheless, God has assured us that He watches over this path.

If you want a guarantee that everything will work out for good, make sure you are on the path of the godly. This path is fail-proof because God never fails. What you and I may perceive as failure, God sees as tests—tests to strengthen and prepare us for His plan.

Do not be deceived by how good your life seems and assume you are on a godly path. Use the Word of God as your measure: Do you follow His Word or not? Simply saying "sometimes" won’t suffice. If you recognize your inconsistency and wish to do better, that’s a great start.

Introspection:
Are you on a godly path? What evidence do you have that proves it is godly? If you read a scripture that instructs against something, are you still doing it? If you plan to change and stop being lukewarm, then you may be on a path that leads to destruction. Time is not guaranteed for anyone. Tomorrow may never arrive, and today is the only moment you have.

Confession:
Heavenly Father, I am sorry for choosing a worldly path that does not glorify Your name, a path that overrides Your will and exalts my desires. Help me to fear You and believe what You say: if I continue this way, I will end up in a life of destruction.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for Your powerful Word. Thank You for this revelation and for speaking to my heart. I submit my life to You so I can be set apart as Your holy people and live only for Your will, no matter the cost. Please lead me to the godly path and save me from destruction. In Jesus's name, Amen.

God wants to protect you and provide for you, but you need to do your part: seek His kingdom and righteousness, and He will surely add everything according to His will.

Why is Jesus Christ's race not important

Good day Beloveds  I have often heard people debate about whether Jesus was black or white. It is crazy to even say "was" because Christ still is. Most people focus on the physical and don't realize that it is mostly about the spiritual. Although the spiritual would affect the physical. This starts at the beginning of earthly life when the whole world got corrupt due to the fall of mankind. Good judged Adam and Eve for their disobedience. Fortunately, because He is a merciful and gracious God, He made a promise that a woman's offspring would come and crush the serpent's head (destroy the devil's work.) That is when Jesus being human was first foretold(prophesied) by God. This was not through prophets but through God's own mouth. At that moment Jesus was the supernatural Word of God that spoke everything into existence.  He had no physical body, He was fully spirit.  Genesis 1:3-4 NLT [3] Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. [4] And God...

Who did Adam's children marry?

Good day, Beloveds, Have you ever wondered about the children of Adam and Eve? A common question that arises is: who did they marry? While the Bible provides answers, many people overlook the relevant scriptures. This often happens because individuals read through the Bible rather than studying it in depth. Some may not read the Bible at all and instead choose to rely on what others say about the scriptures. Don't misunderstand me; being taught by a human can be beneficial, but it is far better to be guided by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is available to teach us all things if only we allow Him to do so. Unfortunately, the scripture below is frequently ignored or overlooked: John 14:26 (NLT): "But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you." Have you heard the misconceptions surrounding Adam and Eve's children? For instance, who did Cain marry? I...

Understand Joshua 1:1-9 What is it saying to you?

Good day Beloveds  The Word of God is a precious gift which is why you mustn't just read it. You need to understand it so you can live according to it. This leads to the manifestation of God's promises. Today we look at Joshua chapter one verses 1 to 9. Let me give you a bit of a background. Joshua is a newly appointed leader for the nation of Israel chosen by God. This nation consists of twelve tribes, these tribes are descendants of the sons of Israel also known as Jacob. Israel was the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham. Abraham is the man that God promised to make a nation out of him. This is the nation, these people Joshua is leading. Joshua has succeeded Moses who just died, Moses was the first leader of this nation. He was just the best, he was the only man who was called a friend of God, and he got to see God. He taught the people how to know the one true God, to obey and fear him. It wasn't easy as they were mostly rebellious but he was devoted to what the Lord h...
