Psalm 1:1-3 - Pocket Meditations
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. The book of Psalms begins by stressing the importance of obeying the law—God’s Word. This passage contrasts a life of delighting in the Word of God against a life of following one’s own way. Which most resembles your own? Do you come to Scripture for advice or rely solely on human wisdom? Does it seem that you are fruitful and thriving or dry and withering? Ask God for help in learning to love his Word as you continue through this devotional.Psalm 1:1-3
