Living A Blessed

Text

Ps 1:1-3 “How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.”

Introduction

In a world that values feelings over FACTS, we must appreciate the value and authority of the word of God

In a world where speaking God’s truth is offensive and it hurts people’s feelings we must still stand on God’s word

Some claim that bible was written by man [it was, but they were inspired by the living God]***

God’s word comes from God’s mind

God’s word is the final authority on spiritual matters and moral issues; it’s our constant guide

God’s word is what guides the Christian today (it ought to)

This book of Psalms opens up with focus on God’s word and how it is defining thing between the “righteous” and the “wicked”.

This psalm is a didactic psalm meaning, it’s purpose is to give instruction and guidance.
