Wisdom Psalms

*** Slide: 2 Paths
Emphasize two paths:
A path that leads to blessing
A path that leads to ruin.
Psalm 1:1–2 NRSV
Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers; but their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law they meditate day and night.
Psalm 1:3 NRSV
They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper.
Psalm 1:4–5 NRSV
The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
Psalm 1:6 NRSV
for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
