Are you ready to face the Judgement?

Over this past year I have been drawn to read Psalm 1 over and over.  As I have studied and thought over what the Lord is saying through this passage I have begun to realize the importance of grounding one's self in God's word.  The Bible states that the man who stays on God's word is one who is like a tree that has his roots down deep into the ground.  By having those roots deep down when the storms of life come it is very difficult for that tree to be knocked over.  The Bible also states that the man who stands on God's word and does not move off of it will be one who will be very careful in whom he keeps company with.

Later in that same passage the Bible states that the ungodly are not like this.  They don't keep watch over whom they surround themselves with and they are compared to the chaff that the wind blows away after the harvest of grain.  Psalm 1 talks about judgement.  The same judgement is coming to all people.  For the glory of God judges everyone on a equal plane.  The difference is whether you have your feet on the Rock or not.  Church examine yourself.  Are you keeping good company as stated in Psalm 1.  Are you grounding yourself in God's word that when the winds of judgement come you will be able to stand and hear God say, "Well, done good and faithful servant."  Or will you be blown away by the wind of judgement and be put into the place of outer darkness?  The choice is yours.
