Title: Two Ways to Live (1)
Series: Summer in the Psalms
Author: Josh Malone
Text: Psalm 1
- 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."
ILLUS. - Music and poetry tend to do that. They make us think. They connect with how we feel. - Some of you are passionate about different types of music. You love the hymns or praise songs. - Some like various styles of secular music as well. - They are all poetry put to music ... and they capture ... thoughts and feelings. They can shape them too!
- 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. There are 150 psalms divided into 5 books.
- Psalm 1 is like a door into the Psalms. Psalm 1 is a WISDOM PSALM. - It teaches us, it point us ... into how to LIVE WISELY. - It's going to reveal two paths. The path of the godly/righteous, the path of the wicked. - They live different and the end result is different. How God views these people is different.
Psalm 1:1-6 - Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he ...
