‘The Blessed Person.’
Psalm 1:1-6.
a) Psalm 1:1-2. The Blessed Person:-
1- Does not walk in the Counsel of the Wicked.
2- Does not stand in the way of sinners. (Either with them or trying to oppose them, in other words, avoids them)
3- Does not sit in the seat of mockers.
4- Delights in the Word of God.
5- Ponders in the Word frequently. (By doing so makes the Word their life standard)
b) Psalm 1:3. The Blessed Person becomes like a tree that is:-
1- Refreshed.
2- Fruitful.
3- Consistent.
4- Prosperous.
c) Psalm 1:4-6. Wicked people become as nothing, their way will perish.
d) Psalm 1:6. The Lord watches over the way of the Blessed and Righteous Person.
(Through this Second one I find the life of The Blessed Person)

Chris.
It is wise to ponder in the Word of God frequently. Pondering the Word of God is a good spiritual exercise. I know some people who put a Bible verse on a paper and stick it inside their car so that when they are encountering a traffic jam or red light – they can easily think about God’s Word. Some wives also do it in their kitchen. These simple things can help us immensely, giving us Spiritual strength.
