According to the Psalmist, ultimately, there are two ways to live life. We can live in a way contrary to God’s character or in a way conforming to God’s character.
We can live life as directed, or live life as selected – according to God’s directions or according to our selections.
The Two Ways have two different destinations. The self-directed way of the wicked leads to instability and destruction. The divinely-directed way of the righteous leads to true bliss and (godly) prosperity.
Truly blissful is the one who is not comfortable in the counsel of those who scoff at God, but delights in meditating on the instructions of God.
Perhaps the Creator of life knows a little more about how life should be lived than the creatures He gave life… Maybe we should follow His instructions and not leave the manual on the shelf.
Fish were created to be in water. Thus, fish are most happy in water. We were created to be in relationship with God. Thus, we are most happy in relationship with God.
We hope to finish our study of Psalm 1 next week.
