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 ——Psalm 1:3 (KJV) The word “he”, “his” and “tree” references the blessed man who delights in the Law of the Lord referenced in Psalm 1:1-2: “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. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” “Rivers of water” is a picture of Christ The blessed man will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. When the blessed man believes on Christ he is indwelt by the Holy Spirit. A transformation in that person starts taking place and they start to bear fruit such as love, joy, peace and gentleness. Additionally, the Holy Spirit bestows a burden for the lost, poor and downtrodden. Galatian 5:22-23 (KJV) states “ But the fruit of the S

  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 la

  Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. ——Proverbs 16:3 (KJV) Dear Lord, I pray that you will help us remember that you died on the Cross for our sins, rose again on the third day for our justification and ascended to the right hand of the Father. Give us a heart of flesh so that we may walk in humbleness, mercy and grace so that we may be a light to those who may believe. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

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. —— Psalm   1:1 (KJV) Who: You have four labels of individuals indicated here: The Blessed man The Ungodly Sinners The Scornful When: Continually, daily and forever. What: Continual action is indicated in this verse. The blessed man, on a continual basis walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor does he stands in the way of sinners, nor does he sit in the seat of the scornful. Where: The man who is blessed is away from the ungodly, sinner and the scornful: “ walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly”, “nor standeth in the way of sinners”, “nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful”. Why : The man is blessed because his counsel comes from God as indicated in Psalm 1:2: “But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Wherefore: The contrast is evident. A person who is blessed will f

I can’t overemphasize the importance of Bible study. Personally, as a believer I want to better understand God’s nature and will. The Word of God is surprisingly revealing about these details. The Bible definitely reveals that Jesus, the Son of God brought light into a dark world: Psalm 119:105 (KJV) - “ Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. ” Proverbs 6:23 (KJV) - “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.” Psalm 16:11 (KJV) - “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalm 18.28 (KJV) - “For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.” The Bible is the most important book that has ever been written. It reveals our sin and sinful nature, and it shows that the only path to Salvation is Jesus. Jesus is the light of the world and the remedy for our sins. In addition, the Bib

It is very important for people to read and study the Bible. It reveals the will of God for the Believer and the path of Salvation for the non-believer. Personally, I believe that praying the Scriptures is a good way to talk to God. The following verse reveals God’s attitude towards pride and arrogance. Proverbs 8:13 (KJV) states “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.” Why Does God Hate Arrogance? The Lord hates arrogance for good reason. The arrogant put themselves before anything, including God. I believe a good number of people struggle with this sin. I definitely struggle with this sin, and I express it in annoying ways that have cost me important relationships and strained others down through the years. Jesus: Not Self Exodus 20:3 (KJV) states “ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Moreover, in John 14:6 (KJV), “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man co

Psalm 117:1-2 (KJV) says: “O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.” I have always liked Psalm 117. It is a short but positive Psalm that invites those in the world who would believe in God to praise Him. Moreover, it gives some very important reasons to praise Him, such as His merciful kindness as well as His enduring truth. Let’s take a closer look at these reasons. Love Toward a Lost World Psalm 117:2(a) (KJV) states “For his merciful kindness is great toward us...” The greatest example of “His merciful kindness” is that God sent his only begotten son to die for a sinful world on the cross ( John 3:16 ). God is just! He can’t allow sin to go unpunished, but someone had to endure punishment for our sins and that was Jesus Christ. The world lives under the curse of sin that started at the beginning of mankind in the garden of Eden. Ro
