Psalm I describes God's people. Verse 2 says that "they delight in doing everything God wants them to, and day and night are always meditating on His laws and thinking about ways to follow Him more closely." (The Living Bible) As we mature in our Christian walk this verse is inspirational and challenging.
I recently met a woman who took this challenge to heart. She said that she had been a believer for years. She, of course, loved God's Word and devoted herself to it. But recently the Holy Spirit had been bringing her to a higher place of commitment. She said that she has been prompted to check in with the Lord every hour or so and to ask Him how she was doing in His eyes. Was she walking in love toward others? Was she obeying Him in each and every circumstance? Were all her thoughts and actions pleasing to Him? Her courage and dedication were inspirational to me. Such a heart attitude would surely bless the Lord and expand His Kingdom.

The older I get the more I seem to focus on the things that matter for eternity and less on the things of the world.
