Psalms 1

I think God gave me 2 learning points from this passage.

The first point is guarding our heart and our thoughts. To achieve this, we cannot be influenced by the sinners or the world. Rather, we should delight in the law of the Lord, and meditate it day and night.

The second point is the Lord is in control. He always watches over the way of the righteous.

Psalm 1

From Joe

Psalm 1 - The righteous will last, but the wicked will perish ultimately. Even if it doesn't seem to be in the short term, in the long run it shall be.

From Dennis
Psalm 1 - you want the Lord's blessing?? if yes,then u must not mix with the bad/evil pple,sit with them or even eat with them. basically as long as you don't associate with them,then u will be safe and bless. but if u choose to mix with them then u will see bad thing happen.

point 2 - blessing:as long as you obey and follow God's law and meditates it. you will prosper and receive blessings from the Lord.

lastly bro,do not take revenge in yr own hand.the day will come when the Lord will judge them. remember the Lord is watching over us.he will be our staff.may u all receive this great blessing the Lord want to give u all. in the first day of qt.

From zach

The ways of the evil one will never last. It will lead to death and only death. Where the righteous will last forever like the Lord. He who walks in the light will have peace. Unlike one who walks in darkness who will be destroyed.

Psalm 1

If you,
-do not be wicked,
-do not sin,
-keep close to
-and meditate on the words of the lord,

then,
-blessings would flow, and you would prosper
-and the lord would watch over you

In summary, Delight in the presence of the lord.. :)

Psalm 1

1 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.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 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.

4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

-------------------------------------------------------

For me the psalm is about how we should live by God's teaching and His laws, and not associate ourselves with whom we know are not living righteously. Those who follow the right way will be blessed and prospers in all he does (verse 1, 3).

Sometimes it is difficult for us to completely dissociate ourselves from those people around us who does not live by God's ways, but God does not judge us collectively (verse 5 - 6). So no matter what circumstances we may be in, have faith and walk right with God, and He will prosper you.
