EITHER BLESSED OR WICKED
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 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 leads to destruction. —Psalm 1:1-6
Who is the blessed one? It is…
- The one who does not walk in step with the wicked
- The one who does not stand in the way that sinners take
- The one who does not sit in the company of mockers
- The one whose delight is in the law of the Lord
- The one who meditates on His law daily
- The one who meditates on His law nightly
- The one who is like a tree planted by streams of water
- The one who yields fruit in season
- The one whose leaf does not wither
- The one who prospers in whatever they do
The wicked…
- Are like chaff that the wind blows away
- Are not going to stand in the judgment
- Are not going to stand in the assembly with the righteous
What is the end result for the blessed and the wicked?
- The Lord watches over the way of the righteous
- The way of the wicked leads to destruction
Every person who has lived, is living or will live falls into “the way of the righteous” or “the way of the wicked.” Jesus is the way of the righteous (John 14:6; II Corinthians 5:21). Satan is “the way of the wicked” (II Timothy 2:26). Which way are you on? Oh, Dear Father, if there are any who are reading this and are on the “the way of the wicked,” please help them to call on Jesus now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYZw0dfLmLk Yes, may they do so now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yUcC93khzU&list=RD8yUcC93khzU&start_radio=1
