“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.”
Psalm 1:1-3
We should not follow the world’s advice or walk in the world’s ways. Instead, we should seek direction from the Bible. As we meditate on and memorize Bible verses, God’s Word becomes a part of our lives, and the Holy Spirit will bring those verses to our minds when we need it.
Psalm 1 is one of my favorite psalms. It reminds us how important the Bible is and how essential it is to memorize and meditate on God’s Word. I love the imagery of “a tree planted by the rivers of water,” bearing fruit, and staying healthy and strong.
Take a few minutes today and meditate on Psalm 1:1-3.
