The book 

of

 Psalms


                                    No. 1


Book 1 Psalm 1


1. Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers; 2. but their delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law they meditate day and night.


(Book of Psalms Psalm 1 verses 1 to 2)


Indeed oh God my Father, there is no greater pleasure than to follow Your ways. The ways of the world give us momentary pleasure, however Your ways gives us pleasure that lasts forever. I find no greater pleasure oh God my Father than to meditate every day on the Bible which is Your Word. It nourishes my souls, and shows me how to live according to Your will Amen.


3. They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper.


(Book of Psalms Psalm 1 verse 3) 


Oh God how I wish to remain like the tree with my roots planted in You. I pray for such a gift to never be separated from You due to my sins Amen.


4. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. 5. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the conregation of the righteous; 6. for the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.


(Book of Psalms Psalm 1 verses 4 to 5)


Oh God my Father I agree that although those who plan evil or use evil means by which to trap us appear to be successful, however, their ends will be bitter and unsuccessful for their actions are not according to Your will. On the other hand the actions of those who planted their roots in You even after their death their works remain known for they brought to an end the seed that You Yourself planted in them to flourish and bear much fruit.


Oh God my Father I would like to end my prayer on the first psalm with the following prayer:


Oh God my Father I pray that today we make the most important decision of our lives, that of placing our trust in You totally. Oh God we promise to shed our roots in the waters of the source of life instead of in the murky waters of the world Amen. Thank You Jesus for the Bible is like fertilizer that gives us that extra boost to continue enabling our growth Amen
