Journeying through the Book of Psalm: Psalm 1

Join me as I journey through the book of Psalm, a book of praises and worship unto the one and only Living God.  A praise a day keeps the enemy away!

Oh, the joys of those who do not
    follow the advice of the wicked,
    or stand around with sinners,
    or join in with mockers.
² But they delight in the law of the Lord,
    meditating on it day and night.
³ They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
    bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
    and they prosper in all they do.

⁴ But not the wicked!
    They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
⁵ They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
    Sinners will have no place among the godly.
⁶ For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
    but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

Psalm 1 encourages the child of God to delight himself in the word of God.  It is only in God’s word that we are able to grow and experience fruit that remains in our lives.  We have to be careful to not get caught up in the conversation and company of those who do not trust in our God.  Doing so will only leave us depleted of our faith and render us incapable of receiving all of the eternal blessings that God has so graciously stored up for His children.
