About this listen
Listen along as The Rev. Dr. Josh Stewart teaches on Psalm 1 which contrasts the way of the righteous with the way of the wicked. It opens by declaring blessed those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked but delight in God's law, meditating on it day and night. Such people are like trees planted by streams of water—fruitful, resilient, and prosperous. In contrast, the wicked are like chaff blown away by the wind; they will not stand in judgment or belong to the community of the righteous. The psalm concludes by affirming that the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, while the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
This psalm serves as a wisdom introduction to the entire Book of Psalms, highlighting the importance of choosing a life grounded in God’s instruction.
