Psalm 1

We live in the world where often the voice of the "wicked", "sinners" or "mockers" (particularly the latter) seems to dominate, and is considered clever. But it is those who do not follow their ways who are blessed. We need to know and remember this. Not so we have a superior "holier than thou" attitude, but that we are confident in our Lord, and can resist attacks.

The ones who are blessed are those who delight in the Lord and His ways. We are to meditate on His word. It is important what we do with our mind, and we must ensure that we spend time thinking about God and His ways. If we spend time on the wrong things, then it will produce bad fruit in our life. But if we devote ourselves to the Lord, then we will have a constant source of goodness flowing into our lives. It will bring true prosperity in to our lives.

The wicked may seem to prosper for a time, or to be lauded for a season, but they will come to nothing. The ultimate judge on all things is God, not the media, not men, but the living God.
