BIBLE TEXT: Psalms 1:1-5
[1]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.
[2]But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3]And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
[4]The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
[5]Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

INTRODUCTION: Being morally steadfast is fast eroding in this generation. People now celebrate wrong doing. It’s high time we stand out for Jesus Christ. Righteousness exalt but sin bring shame. As a child of God you must be ready to standout in the midst of corrupt generation. Even though you may not be popular with your friends but you will be celebrated by God.
