Series: Sing Your Way to Victory
9/30/12
As a door to the rest of the Psalms, Psalm 1 declares in just a few words some of the most basic but profound truths of the Bible. Basically, God says there are two ways of life available: one means blessing, happiness, and fruitfulness, but the other leads to curses, unhappiness, and judgment.
Blessedness is a choice. There are conditions that must be obeyed by faith, if we are to live in the blessings of God. The Word “blessed” in Hebrew can be translated happy, but it is not a happiness based on circumstances. It is a happiness that comes from a deep settled sense of well being knowing our life is in God’s hands. This Psalm gives us the keys to a blessed life.
