CHIN UP!

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

Blessed is the manwhowalks not inthe counsel of the wicked,
nor stands inthe way of sinners, norsits inthe seat ofscoffers;
but hisdelight is in the law of the Lord, and on hislaw, he meditates day and night.

He is likea treeplanted bystreams of waterthat yields its fruit in its season, and itsleaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.

The wicked are not so, but are likechaff that the wind drives away. Therefore, the wickedwill not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners inthe congregation of the righteous; for the Lordknowsthe way of the righteous,but the way of the wicked will perish.”

Psalm 1:1.6

Thought Adjuster: “Those who live in iniquity have no qualm about sacrificing others’ welfare to carry out self-promoting agenda. They do not shy away from resorting to deception to pursue their incommensurate quest for wealth and power. In their delusions of grandeur, they unquestionably exhibit Luciferian propensities.

History abounds with tragic breaches of the Golden Rule. Those who lived before Jesus unequivocally enunciated its altruistic requirements can plead ignorance as an attenuating circumstance. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus made it crystal-clear that only a strict application of this standard of spiritual excellence can establish the kingdom of Heaven on Earth. He initiated this grass-roots spiritual movement by basing all his decisions on this failproof standard. He rightfully inaugurated the kingdom of God by becoming his first legitimate citizen as the Son of Man.

“God-knowing individuals are not discouraged by misfortune or downcast disappointment. Believers are immune to the depression consequent upon purely material upheavals; spirit livers are not perturbed by the episodes of the material world. Candidates for eternal life are practitioners of an invigorating and constructive technique for meeting all of the vicissitudes and harassments of mortal living. Every day a true believer lives, he finds iteasierto do the right thing.” [UB 156:5.13]

Do not let the toxic ways of others contaminate your inner world. Find comfort in remaining loyal to the Golden Rule. You are thus acquiring flawless credentials to partake in the kingdom of hearts.”
