🔥 Trail-Hardened Truth #4: Take Your Seat Back

“…nor sits in the seat of scoffers.” — Psalm 1:1c

---

The Psalm 1 man doesn’t sit where mockers sit.
He doesn’t laugh at what God calls holy. He doesn’t get comfortable in circles that scoff at truth, purity, righteousness, or reverence.

The “seat of scoffers” isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it’s a barstool. Sometimes it’s a group chat.
Sometimes it’s just the posture of a man who rolls his eyes at conviction.
Sarcasm becomes his armor. Cynicism becomes his comfort.

But here’s the truth: you can’t sit with mockers and still walk in power.
You’ll lose your edge. You’ll dull your discernment. And one day, you’ll start mocking the very Word that was meant to save you.

The Psalm 1 man stands up and walks out. He takes his seat back — not with scoffers, but with the righteous, the faithful, and the bold.

🧭 Today’s Action: Name the Table

What “table” have you pulled a chair up to?

• Is it content that mocks faith?
• Is it a group of friends who normalize sin?
• Is it your own inner critic — the voice that mocks what God is doing in you?

Name it.
Then get up.
Today, change where you sit.
