Psalms...

I have started reading a chapter in Psalms everyday for my devotion because I finished the devotional book I've been going through and I really felt like Psalms was where God wanted me to study next. Today was my first day and the very first verse caught my attention. It states "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the council of the wicked...". I immediately thought; Our entire world is corrupted with sin...not walking in the council of sin must be much harder then it sounds. So I've been meditating on this verse all day and this is what my mind has come up with - When this verse says "council of the wicked" it makes me think of people, people who are wicked and overtaken with sin. But, I think this verse is talking about much more then just people. Anything that is wicked and displeasing to God is "the council of the wicked" and will hinder my walk with Christ. The only way personally I think I can "not walk in the council of the wicked" is by being "soaked" with the word of God and allowing him to consume my thoughts and actions.
