Psalms 1 - The Blessed Person

1 Blessed is the person who does not
follow the advice of wicked people,
take the path of sinners,
or join the company of mockers.
2 Rather, he delights in the teachings of the Lord
and reflects on his teachings day and night.

3 He is like a tree planted beside streams—
a tree that produces fruit in season
and whose leaves do not wither.
He succeeds in everything he does.[1]
Psalms 1:1-3 (GW)

6 The Lord knows the way of righteous people,
but the way of wicked people will end.
Psalms 1:6 (GW)

Reflection of B:

Who is a blessed person? The one who delights in God's word constantly (day and night).

How is a blessed person like? He/She is very stable and strong, even in the midst of trials, just like a tree besides the stream.

Yes, God knows the path of the righteous ones. He watches over them and lift them up again and again when they fall.


Dear Lord,
Thank You for Your encouragement for me tonight. Though I was very discouraged just now, You have encouraged me through my sisters in Christ and through Your words tonight. Praise You that I shall stand firm despite of some setback. Hand my hands and lead me on to Your promised land. I pray for my sisters in Christ too, that You will keep them strong in You.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
