Two Paths (1 of 7)
Series: Summer Playlist
Josh Malone
Psalm 1
We have titled this series Summer Playlist. - Illus.- At times I'll make a playlist on my i-pod/i-phone. I had one at one time just for grilling. I've made them for long drives. - Some of you are thinking... ''a Pastor's playlist... exciting.''
And you make a playlist according to the mood, situation, what you want to listen to, and at times its a mish-mash of music styles, etc. Well, we are going to make a little playlist out of the Psalms. And we are going to particularly the next few weeks look to the Psalms for dealing with some emotions like discouragement, guilt, worry. But we are going to just spend some time in this poetic book and ask God to reveal, shape, and mold our minds and hearts.
Psalms is a book of Poetry. The word psalm basically means ''song.'' The Hebrew name for the book means ''praises.'' So here in Psalms we have a compilation of poetry that is meant to be sung. Psalms is a book that captures human emotion unlike any other. It has been said that it is meant to not only reveal but to ''shape our emotions.'' This is a real book about real life. You may find yourself reading the Psalms and thinking ''That's me! That's how I feel!'' or ''I wish I felt that way but I don't today!''- At least half the psalms are written by David, one by Moses, a couple by Solomon, and a few by the Sons of Korah. And then several of them are anonymous. But these authors were thinking and feeling things that they wrote about in the context of having a relationship with God. If you read through the Psalms you will see varying emotions.
Today we began with Psalm 1. - The intro/doorway to the Psalms. Their are 150 Psalms divided into 5 books. This may be to correspond with the 5 books of the Torah... Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
What we are going to see in Psalm 1 is that it is a wisdom Psalm that basically shows their are two different paths in life. We all trav ...
