Psalm 1

If you have followed my blog at all, you know I have reason for discouragement. When I get discouraged, I know to turn to the Lord. I am turning to the Lord- because I want Him to direct my path. I have posted this Psalm before I am sure- but it means so much to me.

When I was a kid, my family would sing this Psalm, from the Psalter. So, here it is:

Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the person who does not follow the advice of wicked people, take the path of sinners, or join (sit) in the company of mockers.

2 Rather he delights in the teachings of the LORD, and reflects on his teachings day and night.

3 He is like a tree planted beside the streams-

a tree that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither.

He succeeds in everything he does.

4 Wicked people are not like that.

Instead, they are like husks that the wind blows away.

5 That is why wicked people will not be able to stand in the judgment

and sinners will not be able to stand where righteous people gather.

6 The LORD knows the way of righteous people,

but the way of the wicked people will end.

This is how I know everything will be alright. I am nervous about going to school again. But I know I can be excited- because God will take care of me. I worry, yes, but I have my Master and my Friend- the Lord Jesus to comfort me, and to encourage me along the path that I believe God has set for me. If it is God’s will- He will make a path. I believe it is His will. Know doubt. A burning desire to finish school burns within me. I have learned a lot during my hiatus. I have learned to lean on Him. Always. God bless you, and thank you for reading my blog.

I decided to include Psalm 1 here, from the Psalms Project. It is very good. Enjoy!!
