The Blessed Way

Psalm 1 paints a picture of a life flourished, comparing the righteous to a tree planted by streams of water, fruitful in every season, whose leaf does not wither. It is an elegant metaphor for the stability, prosperity, and enduring vitality that comes from delighting in and meditating on the law of the Lord.

In these six verses, we are called to reflect on our own paths, to consider the sources from which we draw our strength and nourishment, and to contemplate the profound impact of our choices on our spiritual wellbeing. Psalm 1:1-6 doesn't just describe a way of living; it invites us into a deeply personal examination of what it means to be truly blessed - not by the world’s standards, but by the rich, unwavering love of God.
