A Study of Psalm 1 - Finding True Happiness! A. Those Who Are Blessed: 1. Avoid ungodly advice, sinners' ways, abiding with those who mock the things of God! 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 – Do not be bound with. . .! 2. Embrace God's Way! 3. Find Happiness and Success! (really joy!) What does this look like? Personal Relationships - Hebrews 12:4 Marriage - Ephesians 5:22 and 1 Peter 3:1-8 Money and Needs – Malachi 3:8 B. Those Who Are Not So Blessed! Jude 1:14 describes ungodly! Galatians 6:6-8 Psalm 1 How well it goes for and how happy is the one, who avoids the world's advice, the sinner's way, and the group that scoff or mock at what is God.
Instead he embraces with great delight the instruction of God. He just cannot keep his mind off the desires of God! He mulls over it day and night.
He is so prosperous he becomes like a tree carefully selected and replanted by the streams of water. A tree like that produces massive amounts of fruit and never ever looks unhealthy, because he is indeed healthy. Whatever this man does he prospers – He has become very productive.
Ungodly people are not like this, and mark the word – you are happy in God or you are not. These folks have no mooring! They are dust and sand in the wind. They have no advocate when it comes time for their sentencing. They made their choice – the world and with the world they go, unfit for fellowship with the blessed of God.
God directs blessed men and women! He charts their course and their destiny is good – Heaven itself! But the destiny of the ungodly is surely destruction.
