Psalm 1: Living in His blessing


Ps 1:1-2
Blessed is the man [who stay clear of evil], (2) [who's] delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night.

The book of Psalms start with a map. It shows the way to living in God's blessing. It shows what to stay clear off, and the rewards of following in God's ways.

By living / doing life God's way, the reward is (v3):


  • Planted by streams of water [providence/security]
  • Yields fruit in season [purpose/productive]
  • leaf does not wither [no dryness/no emptiness]
  • whatever he does prospers [heavenly support/success]

(v6) & "the Lord watches over the way of the righteous."

Lord, I desire to do life your way. Help me - keep me strong & willing to do so.
