Devotional: Psalm 1

Today’s passage: Psalm 1

Helpful thoughts:

  • Walking is the course of life, the journey (e.g. “Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.” – Colossians 1:10), standing implies relationship, sitting implies a permanent dwelling.
  • Another way to say “day and night” would be, any time and all the time.
  • Remember, righteousness comes as a gift of God’s grace through faith (Romans 3:21-22).
    • If you are in Christ, you are a tree planted by streams of water. (Wind won’t blow you away!)
    • If you are in Christ, you were made to thirst (Delight) for the water.
    • If you are in Christ, you are blessed as you delightedly meditate on God’s Word!
    • If you are in Christ, your delighted meditations will result in a changed life (The way of the righteous).

Questions to consider:

  1. On a given day, who do you hear from the most? (Count everything from family to co-workers and from reading to television/radio.)  How are you doing at avoiding the counsel, the way and the seat of those who are like chaff?
  2. Is it right to just altogether avoid the wicked in order to avoid their potential influence?  What is a Christian who delights in the Word of God prepared to do?
  3. What delights you?  If you are a Christian who feels as though your leaf has withered, where should you go to be fed and watered?
