PSALM 1 INTRODUCTION Word-Lovers VS World-Lovers.

This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Psalm 1, Introduction

Psalm 1 affirms there are two kinds of people – those who delight in the WORD, and those who enjoy in the WORLD.  Word-lovers delight, meditate, and live by God’s Word in every decision through the day.  They are hungry for Scripture.  They thrive through good and bad days and have God’s blessings. Time in the Word builds faith (Romans 10:17), truth (John 8:31-32), and renewal (Romans 12:2).  Word-lovers receive the promise of God’s blessing as they delight in and meditate on the Word (more about this in Psalm 1, Part Two).   Having a passion for the Word becomes a lifestyle that reaps extravagant blessings from God!

God promises abundant blessings to those who delight in and meditate upon His words. Blessed is the one, the recipient of the lavish gifts of God that supply all our needs and deepens faith.  God’s extravagant blessings touch our relationships, family, home, work, finances, and physical health.   God personally charts our path and leads us in the best ways.

Psalm 1, verse 4, identifies the World-lovers. Their time is invested in what the world loves.  Psalm 1 describes these World-lovers as chaff that quickly blows away with the slightest breeze.  

4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not (be able to) stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. Psalm 1:4-5
