JUNE 3, Psalm 1:4-6 

The ungodly are those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. They do not want to obey God’s Word. Naturally, they produce no spiritual fruit. They will receive no blessing.

In verse 4, God says they are like the worthless brown chaff that is blown away when the farmer winnows his grain. In the past, when the farmer gathered the wheat, at some stage he would throw up the crop into a strong wind in an open field. This would cause the lighter chaff , which was worthless, to be scattered by the wind. Meanwhile, the useful grain, which was heavier, would fall back to the ground and thus be separated.

On Judgment Day, God will gather believers into their heavenly home, just as a farmer gathers the good grain into his barn. But the ungodly will be blown away from God’s presence like chaff . They will not pass God’s judgment. They will not join His saints in heaven. Be very sure that you are in the right group. Which group are you in?

Thought: There are only two roads in this life – one leads to heaven and the other to hell.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, may I be found among the godly who love Your word and be able to stand before You on Judgment Day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
