In Psalm 1 we notice a comparison between God-followers and 'the wicked.' The Psalmist argues that people that choose to follow God "will be like trees planted by streams of water", while those who choose their own path, will end up like "chaff that the wind blows away."The trees will be rooted, established, fruitful and prosperous.
The chaff will just get blown away to all corners of the earth - never to be seen again.
We are given the choice - do you want to be like the Tree or the Chaff?
I don't see many people thinking that 'chaff' is a cool option, yet by our very decision not to follow the word/law of God, we are choosing chaff.
So, instead of asking whether you are a tree or chaff, why not ask the question:
"Do I delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on it day and night?" (v.2) You answer to this question, may just implicate you as a tree or chaff!
Any thoughts?
