Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Chapter Study & Analysis
Overview
Psalm 1 contrasts the way of the righteous with the way of the ungodly. The righteous man meditates on the law of the Lord and is like a tree planted by rivers of water, while the ungodly are like chaff driven by the wind.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. The Power of Meditation: Prosperity is tied to constant meditation on God’s Word (v. 2). What we "input" into our minds determines our "output" in life.2. Separation from the World: There is a progression in sin: walking, standing, and sitting with the ungodly. We must be intentional about our associations.
3. Eternal Stability: The righteous are "planted," while the wicked are "driven away." Faith provides a root system that survives the storms of life.
Practical Lessons
FORMAL PRAYER
Lord, make us like trees planted by the rivers of water. Teach us to delight in Thy law and to walk in the counsel of the godly all the days of our lives. Amen.
