Father’s Day I spoke on “Blessed People” from Psalm 1.1-3, and one main takeaway was putting Psalm 1.2 into practice by meditating daily on the Word.

They delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on his law day and night. (Psalm 1.2, paraphrase)

Here I am showing a plan for meditation (exactly what I teach for daily time with God, which includes meditation) and holding a copy of the handout I gave them: Blessed People Meditate on God’s Word: 7-day Startup Guide. You can listen to the 28-minute sermon here.

The exciting news is that my 25-year-old grandson was there, and he said afterward something like, “Great message, GrandBob.” To which I replied something like, “It will be great when you do it!”

One week later he sent me this text:

Your outstanding motivation last week inspired me. 15 minutes > 0 minutes so I got a bible app and it has a plethora of devotionals so I’ve got it set to once a day “Warrior of God” message. An app on my Phone is easy and my old teacher would always say “Make the healthy choice the easy choice.” You said last week your motivation was only good if it inspired change so here’s proof it did.

The proof was a screen shot of his app. (And since he is a Marine, the “Warrior of God” devotional is appropriate!)

I’m glad that our grandson (and a few others I’ve heard from) are beginning the daily time with God habit, and I love his teacher’s quote: “Make the healthy choice the easy choice.” I’ll have more to say about that tomorrow.

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up. (Psalm 5.3, NKJV)

Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord, (Proverbs 8.34, 35, ESV)
