Praying Psalm 1

The Way of Wisdom

“Blessed is the one who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers” (Psalm 1:1)

-Our church to be a wisdom-saturated community
-Biblical soberness to guard against the temptations of “Lady Folly”
-The language and flavor of the world to become increasingly foreign to us
-Not submitting to the “counsel of the wicked” & the world’s philosophy of life
-People who cherish godly wisdom and pursue Biblical thinking

Delighting in God’s Word

“But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he mediates day and night” (Psalm 1:2)

-Children of God grounded in the truth of God
-God’s Word to have a washing and sanctifying effect on our lives (Eph. 5:26)
-Communion with God in the Scriptures to be a daily priority
-Our functional Christianity to be “Word-centric” (not based upon human ideas but on God’s self-revelation)
-God’s Word to bring nourishment & vitality to the Spiritually weary (Ps. 1:3)
