Psalm 1 emphasizes the contrast between the righteous and the wicked, illustrating that the righteous, who delight in and meditate on God's law, are prosperous like a fruitful tree, while the wicked are compared to chaff that shall perish. It encourages believers to love God with their minds, choose their influences wisely, and reflect on their relationship with Him. The document concludes with a call to action for personal evaluation and commitment to spiritual growth.

1. Psalm 1:1-2
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the
counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of
sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his
delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law
he meditates day and night.

2. Psalm 1:3-4
He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf
does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the
wind blows away.

3. Psalm 1:5-6
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the
righteous. For the Lord watches over the way of
the righteous, but the way of the wicked will
perish.

4. We instinctively study the things we
LOVE.
We are to love God with our
MIND.

5. We must make a CHOICE to move
beyond knowing about God to
knowing Him.
The counsel of the wicked comes
down to who are you LISTENING to.
Standing in the way of sinners reflects the desire to FIT in
with the world rather than STAND out for God.
Sitting in the seat of mockers addresses the COMPANY
you hold.
What is the instruction of God except a REFLECTION of the
character of God?

6. To delight in is to HUNGER for.
Many choices are simply a matter of
what we want MORE.
To delight in is to MEDITATE on.
You continue to REFLECT on the Word after the cover is
closed.
To delight in is to be SHAPED by.
Study is not to support our belief system but to
DETERMINE it.
