When you're healthy, when you're growing, it's natural to want to eat.

The same thing's true in our approach to the Bible, according to Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth.

The evidence that you belong to God, that you have been made righteous through faith in Jesus Christ,

is that you have an appetite for God's work.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss-Walgamu, author of A 30-day Walk

with God in the Psalms for January 7, 2019.

Nancy's on day four of a series called How to Have a Happy New Year. According to Psalm 1, what you think about, what you mull over, what you meditate on,

that may help explain why you are or aren't a happy person.

Let me read in Psalm 1 beginning with verse 1.

Blessed or happy is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

but his delight, or that word could be translated, his pleasure is in the seat of scoffers, but his delight, or that word could be translated,

his pleasure is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

We're talking at the beginning of this new year about this psalm that tells us how to be blessed,

how to be happy, how to have a happy new year happy how to have a happy new year how to have a

happy life how to be a blessed person and we've talked about what the righteous don't do

they don't walk in the council of the wicked they don't stand in the way of sinners they don't

sit in the seat of scoffers but today we come to verse two that reminds us it's important

to know what the righteous do do. It's not enough to say no to the way of the ungodly.

We need also to say yes to the ways of God. It's not enough to decline the delicacies that this

world has to offer us, but it's so important

that we delight in the rich and satisfying nourishment available to us through God's Word.
