What does Psalm 1:3 mean? β†’

Passage Context

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.

Devotional Reflection

JoyPeaceGratitudeHopeContentment

Some earthly pleasures can make us happy for a short time, but when hard times come, they won't be enough to keep us going. Taking joy in the LORD and in what He wants for us, on the other hand, gives us joy that lasts and keeps getting better. This way of life has both short-term and long-term benefits, and it makes people strong enough to handle the worst droughts in life.

Prayer

Dear God, Holy One of Heaven, I find joy in You and Your ways, and I find rest in Your Spirit that never leaves me. Please give me the sense to always do what You want me to do. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
