Psalm 1 The Message
1 How well God must like you—
you don’t hang out at Sin Saloon,
you don’t slink along Dead-End Road,
you don’t go to Smart-Mouth College.
you don’t hang out at Sin Saloon,
you don’t slink along Dead-End Road,
you don’t go to Smart-Mouth College.
2-3 Instead you thrill to God’s Word,
you chew on Scripture day and night.
You’re a tree replanted in Eden,
bearing fresh fruit every month,
Never dropping a leaf,
always in blossom.
you chew on Scripture day and night.
You’re a tree replanted in Eden,
bearing fresh fruit every month,
Never dropping a leaf,
always in blossom.
4-5 You’re not at all like the wicked,
who are mere windblown dust—
Without defense in court,
unfit company for innocent people.

6 God charts the road you take.
The road they take is Skid Row.
The road they take is Skid Row.
For Reflection
God is charting the road you take. You, having accepted Christ into your life, are a child of God. You accept the mystery of life. You deliver blossoms. You wipe the dust from the righteous core which resides in all people. You are a beacon lighting the way to righteousness.
Pray
that you will have strength of conviction in the promise of God. Pray that your life will influence the realization of compassionate, forgiving and just relationships. Pray for the courage to abide with God and serve in God's angel army. Pray that you will listen to God, whispering encouragement and direction.
