Psalms Chapter 1 Discussion Page 39

V.1. How then would they be helped? I suppose that walking in ungodly counsel, standing in the way of sinners, and sitting with scorners, is quite the opposite of kindly declining when among such counsel, witnessing Jesus and the good news in the way of sinners, and carefully contributing serious virtue for the scorners to consider. For a person (being a new creation in Christ), to simply avoid the ungodly, would not help them, and likely miss a blessing ourself. In 1 Cor. 9:19-23, Paul shares how he goes out of his way, so that by any means he may save some. However, wandering into questionable environment without being adequately enclosed in Jesus would likely be hazardous. "Going into all the world" Matt. 28:19, may be nearby.

Yes it is truly good that christians should not sit in the seat of the scornfull,
But tell me, if we as christians or to shair the word of GOD to the ongodly.how is it posiable for the onbeliver to get save

@ Nette's thanks, i totally need a bible buddy, cant get any of my friends 2b1 T_T

it gives us a map to follow,directions, it tells us our eveyday habits, we have a choice to be godly or ungodly if we are godly we will received gods blessing if we are ungodly we are lost and have no direction.

Jeff. "planted by the rivers of water" mean: When you plant a tree your 1st expectation is to watch it grow and bear leaves, right. But if you do not water it, it will not grow. For us that would mean:If Christians do not bear fruit in their season the tree (which is us) will wither away and cause the tree to die (our interman the Holy Spirit). If you are not walking in your purpose and using what God gave you, then you become just like a tree without it's fruit. You should be excerising your right as a Christian and walking in your calling by helping others and spreading the Gospel and let people know what God has done for you and what he has brought you through. Sometimes Christians are fearful of what the Lord wants us to do but we cannot approach our calling in "FEAR". If you are struggling in this area or maybe you know someone that is study these Bible verses; Isiah 61:3/ Proverbs 11:28/ Psalms 92:12/ Jeremiah 14:1/ Ezekiel 47:12/ Jeremiah 39:18 and Job 29:19.

@AMY SMYTHE's I shall pray for your son ^-^
I really like verse 1 has a cool ring to it.

The Psalm is so refreshing for the situation of my son . He is so disobedient and rebellious and I have given him the Psalm as a source of hope that if he decides and chooses to confess and repent of his sins he can become an accepted child of God and enter into his destiny.
Do pray for him, his wife and children.
God Bless

one of the most powerful verse in the bible.

I think that psalms 1 is a powerful psalms. I have my kids say it everyday!!!

I absolutely love This website how it is so neat i love the verses and how it corrects you if you make a little mistake

Did you know GOd has a name? Read Psalm 83:18

we,christians has a journey in this world....as we walk out through our life...we need a map and that is the bible....we need to meditate it day and night so that we can have a successful journey!... :)

I love the book of psalms.it make my heart glad ane rejoyce

Are we meditating in HIS WORD, day and night? Do we DELIGHT in HIS LAW? If we are diligent in meditating in HIS WORD, and delighting in HIS WORD, then we will be be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, (which brings abundant life) which bring for HIS FRUIT, IN HIS SEASON. His leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever (everything) he doeth (does) shall prosper.

Psalm 1 every time I read it refreshes my spirit

i think the book of psalms is such a delight ilove singing the songsto GOD !

Psalms 23 says it all.I have tried to put it in my everyday life.As my shepard,he does the leading.It has got health in it;it has got blessings in it;it has got peace in it.It pretty well sums up the entire promises of Jesus Christ.

In my opinion,i believe that psalm 1 in general is the building block/foundation for christianity

Blessings

i think that every psalm showed in the bible is so beautiful because every word from God

more teachings

and because driving in the main road here in saudi arabia is so dangerous,i read psalms 91 everyday,i feel GOD's protection always there

According to plms 1:2-3, the one who is delighted in the law of God, will like a Tree planted in a river like a man who always remember His Word same that he will always be prosper what ever good he doeth... KAANIB!!!!!!!

Its just like an e-mail which every christian need to consult everyday

i BELEIVE THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS DEFINELTY FOOD FOR OUR SOUL. IF WE JUST EAT IT EACH AND EVERY DAY WE WOULD WIL BECOME STRONG CHRIST LIKE PEOPLE ON THE EARTH.I ALSO BELEIVE THAT WHEN ANY TRIBES/ TRIBULATION COMES OUR WAY WE CAN USE THE WORD TO FIGHT THE ENVY IN OUR LIVES. I HAD LEARN THAT WE CAN TRUST AND BELIVE GOD AND WILL MAKE A CHANGE IN OUR LIVE. THE BOOK OF PSALMS IS LIKE A BOOK TO HELP GUIDE YOU IN SELECTING YOUR FRIENDS IN YOUR LIFE AND IT SEEMS TO SOOTH ME WHEN I AM FEELING DOWN.. GOD BLESS...

This Psalm is one of the greatest asset for living a christian life. It speaks of choosing your friends. The greatest friend that will guide you is Jesus. This is unpopular with the world but essential for the true christian

The word of God is a food to a spiritual being. You eat you live and are healthy. You are starve of it you grow linn or even die. Psalms 1 give you how to live a perfect life that is pleasing to God and brings you good relationship with men plus prosperity.

I decided to memorize the psalm. Of course, I began with this verse. I believe that truer understanding of God's Word begins through memorization. What God is doing is presenting the positive Christian life and comparing it to a life lived without Him.

This book of psalms,is the book with many verses which always tells us about how great got and who really the blessed man is,the chapter who always keeps me loves him is psalms 15 vs 1,i love god
