Psalm 1:1-3

~Psalm 1:1- Blessed is the man that walketh not in the council of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
-We, as Christians, should be like the man this verse talks about. We shouldn't follow the example of the world. Sure we dont have to stick out like a sore thumb but think about it. The way we behave, the kind of music we listen to, the ways we may dress.. are some of these ways following the world or the Lord? If Jesus returned again and came into YOUR house would you have to go throw away your music? Turn of the radio? Hide your movies? Delete memory from your computer? Should we be identifying with the world so much that people cant see that we are different?
Also we shouldn't have friends that will just bring us down. A good friend isn't a friend that encourages you to do bad things, but is one that encourages you to do the right things. Make the right choices. Peer pressure is a dangerous thing. Be careful in your choice of close friends.
This verse is saying- "blessed is the man that walketh NOT in the council of the ungodly. Don't walk with the world, walk with the LORD!
~Psalm 1:2- But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
- Instead of being the one that follows the WORLD we need to be that ONE person that will really delight in Gods word. We should be that ONE person that has a real, true, fellowship with God. This is time consuming but it is not wasted time, whatsoever! Pray, read your Bible, Praise the Lord with singing.
As Followers of Christ our delight should be in the wondrous attributes of God and not the deceitful things of the world.
~Psalm 1:3- And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
-We should be that tree. We should be watered by the Word of God. We should be the ones going out, all over the world, and bearing fruit by sharing the gospel with others. We should be bearing fruit all the time.
-How many times have you walked by someone in the store, at a party, in a park, at a pool and you KNOW that you felt the Holy Spirit telling you to go and speak to that person. You knew what you were supposed to do but you were afraid. Many times this has been the case with me. I would think "what if they just keep on walking? what if I forget what the Bible says? What if this. what if that." And Ive realized that by not talking to them I directly disobeyed God and possibly just sent that person straight to Hell. Its a terrifying thought knowing that you could have done something but you chose not to.
- We need to be that person that points them in the right direction. Show them Christs love. Bear good fruit! We have only one life and we need to use this one and only life we have here on earth in the best way possible. We should share Jesus love!
- In the verse it says that his leaf shall not wither. We shouldn't loose our love for Christ. We should replenish it! Restore it! Renew it! Whatsoever we do to the glory of God will prosper into something much greater!
