BE BLESSED

Psalm 1:1–6 NKJV
Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Blessing (vv. 1–3). God enjoys blessing your life, but you must be “blessable.”

Main Idea: A blessed man is a man in pursuit of God.

Key Question: Are you pursuing the things of God?

1. The life of a blessed man is steady. (v. 1-3)

Psalm 1:1–3 NKJV
Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
Joshua 1:8 NKJV
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Jeremiah 17:8 NKJV
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

2. The life of a wicked man is shaky. (v. 4-5)

Psalm 1:4–5 NKJV
The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Hosea 13:3 NKJV
Therefore they shall be like the morning cloud And like the early dew that passes away, Like chaff blown off from a threshing floor And like smoke from a chimney.
Job 21:18 NKJV
They are like straw before the wind, And like chaff that a storm carries away.

3. The eternity of both men is sure. (v. 6)

Psalm 1:6 NKJV
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Nahum 1:7 NKJV
The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.
