Would you start with this?


Most of us find the Psalms a breath of fresh air. They are honest, heart-felt, challenging and also filled with promise. But if you were going to group the Psalms together, would you have started with Psalm 1? Read it and see what you think...

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.


At first I wasn't sure, but the more I read it the more I think it is a great way to 'kick off' the collection of Psalms. What do you think?

Living in Grace,
D3LM3
