Psalm 1

 

"BLESSED IS THE MAN"

 

 Blessed is the man

Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    Nor stands in the path of sinners,
    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
    

Planted by the rivers of water,
    That brings forth its fruit in its season,
    Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

 

"BeyondTheVeilDaily";  Some of my brothers this morning are restless, peace like a bird has lifted its wings, and has departed. You are asking questions with no answers. Like Israel in the wilderness, you are going in circles. Arriving again and again in the same place of trouble, a place of great inner conflict of soul. The proclamation of the blessed man is not found in his talk, but rather in where he stands, sits and talks.  He walks not, he sits not, he stands not, in the fellowship of the ungodly, sinners and the scornful. Those who practice these things have their roots in troubled waters, bringing forth the fruit of disappointment.

 

What is the answer to this dilemma?  Is it not found in the word, "but". "But his delight," is in the Word of God, which he mediates on day and night! Where he sits, the Word goes, where he stands, the Word goes, where he walks the Word is with him, and in him.

 

"He is planted!!!" Where? by rivers of living water! His testimony brings forth fruit, his story never withers, and whatever he does shall prosper.  "Hallelujah!"
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Where do you sit ?  Where do you stand?  Where do you walk ?

Father in heaven; we humbly come on behalf of those who are lost in their wilderness of  faith in you. Help them, to find the living waters again, where their hearts come home to the place of "delight" in you. Amen.
