Psalm 1:1-6

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, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm 1:1-6

Dear Heavenly Father,

I have experienced the prosperity of meditating on your word instead of the unending diet of worldly messages. You have so designed your word to water my soul that if I choose to think about your words and what they mean for my life, I will be fruitful even in the dry seasons, because I have water for my soul that doesn't come from my circumstances. It comes from you. Help my family and friends to turn off the TV, the radio, their phones and their laptops to drink deeply from your word so they will grow and be fruitful. Give us the prosperity of life that comes from godliness. Make us a reflection of how you bless people you have made and saved.

Amen

The mind is divinely invented soil meant to be fertilized with God's word to grow good things for everyone to enjoy. Don't pollute it with the garbage of unbelievers.
