Proclamation:
“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.” Psalm 1:1-2 (NIV)
Explanation:
The
human author of this psalm is unknown but it was clearly written under the
influence of the Holy Spirit of God.
This psalm serves as the gateway to all of the psalms. It depicts the way of the righteous man and
contrasts it with the way of the wicked man.
It stresses that those who worship The Lord must embrace His Holy
Word. Those who do so will be blessed.
(Psalm 1:3) Those who do not will be
destroyed. (Psalm 1:4-6)
Application:
If
we want a deep-seated joy and contentment in The Lord, and to be truly happy
because we enjoy God’s favor, then we need to embrace The Holy Word of God,
delight in it, and meditate on it daily.
We ought to begin and end each day with The Word of God. It we do that, He will bless us in such a way
that our efforts are fruitful and prosperous. (Psalm 1:3) Jesus, The Christ, said, “If you love me,
keep My commands.” (John 14:15) Let us
show Him that we love Him. Let us read,
internalize, and obey His Holy Word.
