In this study of Psalms 1 we discuss what it means to be in the way of the righteous man or the wicked. The bible has many passages discussing both paths we can walk in our lives, and this lesson helps to strengthen us to help us to continue our Christian walks in the path of the Righteous and not to stray to the path of the Wicked.
