Scripture
Ps 1:1 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.
Observations
- Joy in "nots" – follow advice of wicked, stand with sinners, join with mockers
- Delight in "dos" – Delight in God's Word, think about it deeply
- When I avoid the "nots" and do the "dos" = Planted and prosperous
- The wicked = opposite
- God watches over the path of the of those that "do" and doesn't those that "don't"
Application
- Follow God's advice, advance and apply
- Think more about my life in light of scripture
- Keep seeking God, keep moving based on obedience & keep growing
Prayer
Lord, I think You for the path of godliness. I'm dependent upon You and the revelation of Your Word. I ask that You provide, guide and protect me on Your path. Forgive me of listening, standing and not advancing. I love you Lord!
