"How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the seat of scoffers?
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night,
And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season;
And its leaf does not wither:
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
- Psalms 1 :1-4

ReplyDeleteI love "How blessed is the man who does not walk in the cousel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the seat of scofffers?

Which yields its fruit in its season;

And in whatever he does, he prospers.

Thank you for this scripture, Yvonne ~ I just added it to my post ♥
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures and that Scripture in Isaiah is perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt brought to mind several scenes in the Movie "Gladiator", when Maximus would pick up dirt in his hand and smell it... the earth, the soil, it speaks to us of our Creator.
Thanks for your sweet comments on my 1000 post.
Oh Maria, as I read down your list of beautiful quotes, I enjoyed each one more than the last...so very perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt is so very important for us to set ourself apart from the world, so that we will be a strong pillar, able to withstand the storms and trials He places in our paths...thank you for this important reminder.
Happy Day My Dear...xoxo...Rosie

Sweet Maria, I feel SO alive reading your posts!!! They have simplicity and they get to be soooo deep and suitable for moments we have and sometimes cannot deal with. Thanks! Dolly Parton wrote my favorite today!!!
ReplyDeleteLove! Bela.
Where have my blogging moments gone! I'm trying to catch up. Thank you for being so faithful! Thanks for the birthday wishes for my daughter. I love to stopping by. The beautiful fall leaves make me homesick for NY. I am taking you up on your movie recommendation too. My husband is out of town for a few days and I could use a good chick flick. Thanks for your encouraging words.
