08/24/22 PSALM 1 and SINSANITY

SINSANITY, the insanity that starts with sssss, as in the hisssss of a sssserpent, known as sssssatan. 

Psalm 1 is a Divine snapshot of the lost and the righteous, giving us a short overview of the human condition (and a short intro to the entire book of Psalms), pointing out that there are two conditions for man, sinful and righteous.  

Psalms 1:1-6
(1) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
(2) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
(3) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
(4) The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
(5) Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
(6) For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. 

Palm 1 SECTION BY SECTION.
Psalm 1:1 In the sinful condition there are three postures (levels) of commitment to wickedness, each one separates man from God and each one is stronger than the previous. The imagery is WALKING, STANDING and SITTING and the influences are THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY (passive but receptive listening to non-Christian advice), THE WAY OF SINNERS (deliberately following non-Christian paths) and THE SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL (the obstinate and mocking rejection of Christian truth).

1- Listening to the viewpoint of the unsaved; doubting the truth of God's word; following the example of the ungodly.
2- Accepting the life of rebellion; rejecting God's deliverance from sin; following the path of disobedience.
3- Reveling in the life of sin; scorning God, His message, His people;
openly promoting blasphemous beliefs and living.
(1) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Psalm 1:2-3 (behavior and condition of the righteous)
(2) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
(3) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 

Psalm 1:4-5 (the behavior, condition and Divine judgement of the wicked)
(4) The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
(5) Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 

Psalm 1:6 (the result of choosing the way of righteousness and the way of sin)
(6) For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
