First, let’s make sure we know what is at stake.
Psalm 1:1, 2 speaks of two ways, describing each. . .
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.
Note the progression from thoughts to behavior to character.
Wrong thoughts and deeds are rooted in cynicism (unbelief).
In contrast, verse 2 presents the positive side of the blessed. . .
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
The blessed person thinks and lives by God’s Word, His promises.
His acts are based upon and energized by God’s commandments.
His character is rooted in truth because He delights in God’s word.
