Psalm 1
Are you ready and willing for God to start a fresh work of trust and obedience in your life this year? Would you like for Him to bless you with greater joy and sweeter peace, and to make you more useful and more fruitful for His glory?
This Psalm offers a telling description of the man who lifts his heart to heaven and receives God’s abundant and eternal blessings, while warning the wicked of God’s judgment.
Stated negatively first, such blessing comes to the one who does not pursue the ways of the ungodly world. He does not follow the foolish advice of godless people. He does not share the mindset of those who reject God’s commands.
Instead, the one who receives the blessings of the Lord finds his delight in the Word of God. To him the words of Scripture are treasures far more valuable than silver or gold. The words of God taste sweeter than honey, for they provide flawless counsel, they guide in the way of truth, illuminate the path of righteousness and unfold the revelation of God’s salvation in the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. They are truly words of joy and delight to all who seek God.
If you want this to be the year you find a truer and greater happiness than you’ve ever known before, lift your heart to heaven in 2011, starting fresh by soaking day and night in the Word of God.
