God’s favor rests upon His children when we separate ourselves from the enemy camp. (Ps. 1:1) God delights to stay connected to us, but many times, we find our plans and purpose being influenced by all the wrong things. To desire His divine protection, and long for a right relationship with our Father is where victory lies.
I am beginning to understand more and more just how important it is to be a steward that seeks to take great pleasure in the Lord’s word and will, and not take counsel from, or tarry among the negative and disrespectful influences of the enemy. It may be, learning a pilgrim's walk with God is harder than one would realize, but totally doable through Jesus (all things remember?) And, although this world is not my home, (Heb. 13:14) as a Christian, I am never to act as judge and jury of others, this is not what loving Him is about - rather, I am to rejoice in His grace, understanding that it is He who is my Savior, and live my life in such a manner that others see His redeeming and powerful love. (Acts 22:15, John 3:16, Heb. 9:12)
Although it was hard to take in at first, His word enlightened and moved me today, and gave me a sense of direction and peace - and even though obedience is often difficult, therein lies the reward – a walk to remember.

Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly , nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord and he mediates in it both day and night.
