Counsel of the godly

Psalm1
1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

There is a counsel or group you can find yourself and you will be convinced you are in the right path pleasing the Lord.This is the counsel of the godly.When you have a couple of friends and you have course to meet periodically,make sure you stir the discussions in the direction that will edify God and uplift one another. Don't expect people to start a godly conversation before you join in.Be the motivator and the initiator.Plan with others on how to help people,encourage the weak,give to the needy and so on.Be careful not to slip into gossip, backbiting, planning to hit back on those that have offended you.
I used to have a friend who did not have any line of discussion other than how he would love to meet a new girl to sleep with .As much as I would love to discourage him on this issue,he would press on to explain how badly his wife was treating him.Everyone knows that cutting the head off is not the antidote for head ache .I didn't have a choice than to keep a distance from such a friend .The blessings that God promised those that do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly will definitely not elude you in Jesus name.
