Psalm 1:1

I would like to start by saying that I plan on slowly moving through the book of Psalms one verse or chapter at a time. Really trying to focus on each particular passage to gain understanding from each and every line! I hope you will return frequently to help me and leave comments so we can get some different perspectives on the word of God.

Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

The counsel of the ungodly. Well, I guess we should start here. Who are the ungodly? Well the simple answer would be anyone who is living their life so that it is contrary to the Word of God.

So in other words, do not take advice from non christians. They do not understand things the way that you do and it would be foolish to ask someone who does not believe in the Word of God for advice!

Standeth in the way of sinners.

Well, I can only look at this one way. If you are standing in the way of sinners, you must be going along with their ways! Meaning you are standing with them! Not against them, but in agreement with or maybe even partaking with sinners! The Bible states that a man cannot serve two masters, so in that context you are either for sin or you are against sin! It is that simple. So the opposite of this statement would be. Blessed is he who standeth against the way of sinners! To make a stand against sin!

Sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Have you ever been around that person who is angry all the time? Nobody really wants to be around that person! I know I sure don't. They are such a debie downer! Always criticizing everything. But do you also notice that person who seems to be the most critical also seems to be doing the least! The fact of the matter is that scornful people can cause division and again there is not place in the Church for division! We should be uplifting and helping our brother's and sister's in Christ! Blessed is he who sits in the seat of the up lifter!
