Psalm 1

Blessed

Walk  -  Counsel

Stand  -  Path

Sit       -  Seat

The Walk in life is based on the decisions you take.

take up a job - marriage - move to a new place -  buy a house

And at each dot , you  have to take counsel . and decisions are made by the counsel.

Bible says , do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly.

1 Kings 12

Then Jeroboam and the whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 4 “Your father made our yoke [a]heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you.”5 So he said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” And the people departed.6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, “How do you advise me to answer these people?”7 And they spoke to him, saying, “If you will be a servant to these people today, and serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”

8 But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. 9 And he said to them, “What advice do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke which your father put on us’?”10 Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you should speak to this people who have spoken to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make itlighter on us’—thus you shall say to them: ‘My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s waist! 11 And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with [b]scourges!’ ”

Rehoboam rejected elders godly advice and followed wicked advice.

Many times we take shortcuts inner roads in life, but God is calling us to walk on the highway.

God says 

As the heavens are higher than the earth,

    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts

Isaiah 35:8

A highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.

Stand - Nor stand in the path of sinners.

Walking in the wicked counsel - one get confirmed in the way of the wicked.

Stand - A person standing is being in the firm , being decisive in what he thinks.

Sit  - Established.

V2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he [b]meditates day and night.

Delight and Duty are two contrast things.

When the work you do becomes a duty , it will be a burden, you will always be waiting when the work will be finished. I always look at the watch when it will be 5 pm in office everyday.

But whatever you do becomes delight to you, then it changes whole perspective.

For many reading the Word of God is duty for 5 mins to 15 mins.

But when it is a duty - you want to be done with it and when you dont do it you get condemned.

but when reading the Word of God is a delight - you dont know the time, even when you are not reading you dont get condemned, but your thoughts will be always be for the Word of God.

Jeremiah 15:16

16 Your words were found, and I ate them,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.

V3 : Planted - established.

you will bring forth fruit.

Whatever you do will prosper. 

Some people whatever they touch, it will be disaster.

but some people whatever they take it up, it becomes a success.

He shall be like a tree

Planted by the [c]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
