HEY, GET OUT OF THE WAY!        Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalms 1:1      The trap is set once we walk in the counsel of the ungodly.  You see, there is a progression (actually a regression).  After allowing the philosophy of those who are without God to affect us we are no longer merely walking in the counsel we then are standing in the way of sinners.    Years ago I traveled with a musical team representing the college I attended.  We were singing in a town in New England whose main industry was a tannery.  The odor was horrendous. The entire town smelled like a dead animal.  As we sat with our hosts at dinner I finally had to ask, “How can you people stand this smell?”  To which someone answered, “What smell?”    These dear folk spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year in this stench until they don’t even notice it.    Because of society’s acceptance of sinful behavior we are constantly bombarded with sinful ways.  Let’s be careful not to stand still for it or we will not be bothered by the smell.
