Observation and Notes on Psalm 1:2

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

----Psalm 1:2


WHO:


The first “his” is referring to the blessed man in Psalm 1:1. You also have the Lord himself mentioned in this verse. The second “his” refers to the Lord. The word “he” references, once again, the Blessed man in Psalm 1:1.


WHAT:


This verse centers around “the law of the Lord”. Law is mentioned twice, I believe, repeated for emphasis. The blessed man, “delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” The blessed man delights and meditates on “the law of the Lord” or the Word of God. In other words, he thinks and ponders on God’s Holy Word.


WHERE:


One could say, that a Spiritual location is “in the law of the Lord”. A person can meditate and delight in the Word of God everywhere (implied).


WHEN:


The blessed man meditates on the Word of God “day and night”—continually.


WHY:


Man’s happiness stems from his delight in the law of the Lord. He is also blessed because he will find a loving relationship with Savior who died for his sins and will inherit eternal life.


WHEREFORE:


The Word of God shows the world the path to a relationship with a loving Savior who offers eternal life to all of those who believe. The Old Testament even points in that direction. Christ is found in the law and the prophets. The animal sacrificial system points to Christ. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 (KJV), “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”


Once someone (anyone) believes, they are in dwelt by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit begins a transforming work in that person that leads to fruit bearing. Galatian 5:22-23 (KJV) states “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

TWO PATHS – TWO FRUITS - TWO ENDS

“Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.” — Psalm 1:5 (KJV) Overall, Psalm 1 is a Psalm of contrast. It presents a path that ultimately leads to destruction ( Psalm 1:1 ) and a path that ultimately leads to a life where the “ leaf also shall not wither ” (Psalm 1: 2-3). In life, these two paths leads to two different types of fruits. The first (and righteous path) leads to fruit that is acceptable to God that derives from the abundant “ rivers of water ” springing forth from Christ at Calvary ( Psalm 1:3 ). The destructive path yields a fruit of chaff “ which the wind driveth away ” ( Psalm 1:4 ) . The ones who yielded the righteous fruit will have a joyous life everlasting where they belong to God and God belongs to them. In the final outcome, God will take the ones who yielded Chaff and cast them into the fire.  In Psalm 1:5 , once again you have a contrast presented. You have two types of people: the ungodly/sinners a

Primary Goals

1.) The first primary goal is to bring non believers to a saving knowledge of Christ.  “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” ——Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV) 2.) The second primary goal is to encourage believers to look forward to eternal life and fellowship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and encourage them to give out the gospel. “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” —-I Thessalonians 5:11 (KJV)
