Something I shared with my sg

Man, it is tough when those of the Faith have no desire for their father in heaven. Wed night we talked about being in the silence with God.. This is a message I sent to them to encourage them in their walks with God. In parenthesis are some of the thing's that this passage spoke to me about.

Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man

(Satisfied is he who.... the Kingdom of God belongs to Him, cuz the one who is blessed is the one righteously following Him)

who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
(how do we do this? According to psalms 119:9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.)

or stand in the way of sinners (didnt share this but this came to my mind - being salt and light does not mean you tell people how to live, tell em by your life, dont try to be good cop)
or sit in the seat of mockers.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

(God TEACHES us how to DELIGHT IN HIM, he teaches us HOW we can not feel distant from him, he tells us HOW TO DO IT, we would be foolish not to listen to it. Joshua 1:8Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. )

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.

(We would be foolish not to SOAK in the promises of God and take His word on it... Apart from him you will bear no fruit - When you apart of the vine - when you belong to the faithful one YOU will be built up well - there is no other foundation greater than Jesus)

4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.

(The WAY everlasting is the only one that will allow you to reap GOOD)

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

(You feeling distant from God? Are you following him faithfully-obediently? Prob not... Take HIS word on it.)
