Today I want to take a look at the second phrase found in verse 1 of Psalms 1, "nor stands in the way of sinners." What is David telling us with this small stroke of the "pen?" Interestingly the word translated here "stand" means to "take one's stand, take a stand or become the servant of." How interesting to consider all that this verse might mean for the Christian! If we take our stand with sinners we become the servant of the sin for which we take a stand. David here sounds much like Paul in Romans 6!
Sin may be very tempting but consider the consequences! Sin entices, embraces and enslaves the one who "takes his stand" with those who have chosen to reject God's will and way of doing things.
James
