Resisting Satan

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.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

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.

Psalm 1:1-3

How would you like to be at peace, to have everything you do prosper and to be in health? Here is the scriptural key to that blessing. It is to refuse to walk in the counsel of the ungodly, but rather to delight in the law of the Lord and to mediate on it day and night.

This is the walk of faith we have been describing and prescribing. The person who walks by faith is not moved by what others around him may think or say or do because his ears and his eyes, his mind and his heart, are firmly fixed on the Word of the Lord.

The Blessing of the Righteous

Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

Psalm 112:1-8

Here is another familiar passage that describes the blessings that are kept in reserve for the person who fears the Lord and who walks in faithful obedience to His commandments.

Note that the individual whose mind is firmly fixed on the Lord is not afraid of evil tidings. Bad news does not move him. He does not waver. He is not a compromiser.

In speaking of such a person The Amplified Bible often uses the term "the uncompromisingly righteous" or "the consistently righteous."

I would like to suggest that you look up the word righteous in the concordance. Locate in the King James translation all the Scriptures that contain this word, and then read them in The Amplified Bible. You will discover the many rewards that God promises to the uncompromisingly, consistently righteous, those who walk in faith, refusing to cave in, draw back or sell out, those who will not allow Satan to rob them of their rightful inheritance.

Trust God and Resist the Devil

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

Casting all your cares upon him; for he careth for you.

Be sober,
