DAY 16 ~ October 20, 2009 ~ Psalm 1
CLICK THIS LINK TO READ CHAPTER

1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
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.

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.

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

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.

Default reading link is to BibleGateway.com in the NIV.  There are links to commentary and related passages found after you click through to read the chapter.   Remember, devotions are the short things we read and reflect upon. Study happens when we dig deeper, read commentary, and related passages.  For this reason, our study links bring up the entire chapter instead of just the verse suggested.

Please share that you studied, or your response to the study - in the blog at www.e4God.com or see our full 21 Day study plan at www.e4God.com/58

    Well, today you get more of an emotional response than a “study”.

    This one is both inspiring, winsome, attractive and also - I confess, a little frustrating. I try to practice gratitude, but there are times I want to know where my blessing is. I shake my fist at heaven (Yes, I confess - I really do).

    After all, I DO NOT:

    walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

    I DO:

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

    The promise then, is this:

    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.

    OK Lord… I am Ready to receive your promise…

    Now I know my looking to the heavens and complaining may sound out of line, but even David was known to have said:

    How Long oh Lord will the wicked prosper, while the righteous go to the grave as dust…

    (He even wrote it down for all time). So I will take my momentary angst and write it down.

    Yet I, like David, can safely say - every time - after a little venting…. My joy is in the Lord who has saved me before and will save me again…

    Perhaps this is what is meant by the words: IN SEASON : )
