Plant yourself good !

    Yesterday we started studying Psalm 1 today.. we will continue from there...  

Our Bible Reading...

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.


Beginning our study today...

Verse 2 But his delight is in the Law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

  we see a difference here... But His Delight ! ...what makes him happy what he pursues --- is in the LAW OF THE LORD  - The Bible - and his Law he thinks about and ponders day and night.

We don't meditate like the eastern religions repeating the same word over and over.. but we meditate like thinking... kind of what we are doing right here... we think about the Bible passages we read we ask the Holy Spirit to teach us what it means and memorize and we do this throughout the day. We don't let our mind just wonder around like a lost child but we take hold of our thoughts and think about the Bible. This man is blessed!


verse 3

 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

  I did a little checking to see about a tree planted along a river. The tree draws it's survival from the river and it also tends to survive in it's life cycle with the river. Which as a Christian we draw from the Word of God.

We will bring forth our fruit... the things that God is building in us at the proper time.. and our leaf won't wither ... we will be fresh and alive and everything we set our hand to do.. and our life in general will prosper..  All this for staying in the Word of God.
