—Psalm 1:1-6
by: Dale Rood.
How do we come into the purposes of God? This psalm gives an answer to that question for the person who has committed his life to God. It will require discipline-choosing from whom we take counsel, with whom we do things, and with who we talk and share (v. 1). The key is to take delight in the Lord and his way (v. 2). The promise is that the godly person will see results (bear fruit), and even when it is not the season for results he will still flourish (his leaf will not wither) (v. 3). Contrast this with what the wicked experience (vv. 4-6).
