Bible Lesson 4
Meditation Passage: Psalm 1
This Psalm begins with the word “Blessed” in the KJV and ends with the word “perish.”
The important things we can learn from this are:
Every person born into this world should live a blessed life in the sight of God. If they do not choose the blessed path that is pleasing to God, they will come to destruction.
This is the choice that God has placed before every human being.
Either we should be wheat or tares.
Either we should be good seed or chaff.
Either we should be seen as sheep or goats.
(Sheep – Goats)
The first three verses of the first Psalm speak about the things that should be seen in the life of a blessed person.
The final three verses speak about the final destiny of the ungodly who have lost the blessed life.
Eternal Blessing
Eternal Punishment
These are the two destinies available to every human being. There is no third way.
The spiritual “root system” of the righteous is very deep. At the same time, those who do not know God will be like chaff that is blown away by the wind.
People who reject God will not be able to stand in God’s judgment. For them, the lake of fire will be their final destination.
For God’s children who meditate on the Word of God and live according to it, it will not be a judgment of condemnation, but an occasion to receive rewards for the sufferings they endured during their lifetime.
In the eyes of this world, God’s children may be considered as worthless as chaff.
In the eyes of the world, people may be seen as wealthy, influential, famous, and as those who have enjoyed positions of authority. But they will not be able to stand before God’s judgment.
The Deep Lesson Taught by Psalm 1
What a person thinks about, what a person loves, and whose counsel a person accepts determine the direction of his life and ultimately his final destiny.
Therefore, the beginning of true blessing is found in delighting in the Word of God, continually meditating on it, and living according to it.
