Walking Therein

Saturday Psalm & Praise - Psalm 1

This has always been a favorite Psalm of mine. I don't know if I like the picture I get in my mind of a tree planted beside the waters or what, but it always refreshes me to hear it.

Psalm 1

 1Blessed 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.

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

 3And 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.

 4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

 5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

 6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.


In reflection:
I found that we will receive God's blessing as we walk in the way of the godly. It tells us that meditating on the Word is a peaceful thing; a delightful thing, not a burden.

As we homeschool, we can make learning the Word and praying and meditating on the Word a delightful and joyful thing for our children, instead of a boring chore that they hate. To teach the life in the Word will give them peace. It will relieve them of fear and set them on the path of the righteous, leading to God and all of His blessings.

And, yet, as we teach them these perfect words with God's perfect plan for their lives, they can still see our daily struggles with life, with ourselves, living and learning, as examples of God's grace and His faithfulness to us in our weaknesses and our frailty as humans. Isn't God GOOD?
Isn't a holy God who keeps His Word and His People a Good God? How do people get along in this sinful world without the absolute certainty that God is God, and He has a plan that includes blessing for 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?

Thank you Lord, for giving me the example of someone doing your will, loving you and walking in your ways. Thank you for your Word that refreshes me, though I am still struggling to get its words into my soul. Thank you for being a faithful God who still moves in my heart and loves me, even though this heart is faultering all the time.

Thank you LORD.

blessings! -Jacque
