Blessed Is The One
BLESSED IS THE ONE
Join your Calvary Chapel family for the first Sunday of 2026 on Sunday, January 4th, at 10:00 a.m., in the main sanctuary or online through our website (www.calvaryinv.com), Facebook, and YouTube (Calvary Inverness). We will come together to exalt Jesus, build each other up in love, and be equipped to share the gospel by exploring the book of Psalms (1:1-6).
Each year, the world is given a fixed number of hours. How each person spends their time varies just as much as the people themselves. Time doesn’t favor any particular group. It plays no favorites. Whether a person’s year is worthwhile or a complete waste depends on individual choices.
One path leads to a productive, fruitful, happy, and satisfying life in which the person who puts God at the center of his life enjoys a close and intimate fellowship with Him.
The second path, which most people choose, deceptively guides them into a downward spiral that is fruitless, unstable, and worthless, ending in their destruction. The Psalmist in chapter one, knowing that one’s time on earth is limited, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, presents to God’s people two completely opposite paths—one narrow and the other broad—each offering both temporal and eternal benefits and consequences.
The Word of God contrasts the two paths. The path to a blessed life is chosen by those whose lives delight in and are guided by God’s Word. Everything they do, or decide not to do, is evaluated through the lens of Scripture. Their life’s goal is to prioritize and maximize their lives so they can live for God's good pleasure and holy purposes.
Their rejection of God’s Word marks the path of the condemned. They live for themselves and decide, through their own thoughts, what is right and wrong. Unaware to most, their self-built moral code is flexible with no absolute morals, which will change suddenly over their lives and blindly lead them down a path at the end where God rejects them and casts them outside His presence into Hell for eternity.
My prayer is that our church family will make the Word of God their top priority and the center of their lives. By doing so, we embrace God’s promise that He will be with us through thick and thin, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and will strengthen and guide us so that in the end, we can hear Him say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
Redeeming the Time,
Pastor
