Psalm 1

How can we live good lives rooted in God’s abundance? Psalm 1 offers two choices represented by two types of humans-one who is like a solid tree and one who blows away in the wind like chaff. In this video, we reflect on the choices that shape our lives and discover that what we meditate on makes all the difference.

The first quiet time (devotional) I had was on this Psalm. It has provided my stake in the ground to abide in Jesus for 52 years.

Beautiful, beautiful in every sense! You guys are incredible! Be blessed by God as the first person of this psalm is, but I guess you already are and we are witnessing how blessed you are because it’s evident that you meditate and delight on God’s Word! 🙌🏼

[@phillipigviksaq2080]

I like the new form of visual commentary you guys are doing Great job of getting Gods work into art

[@inGodweTrust122]

It works great for breaking down smaller portions like a psalm but the way they break down larger portions like an entire book works great and is what drew me to this channel. I don't really like them heavily discussing a book as I see it completely differently, like their discussion about Ecclesiastes, but I do love their other stuff. Like this one and their bigger presentations breaking down entire books or letters. They do a great job. Love this channel.

Thank you!

When I was a kid my mom helped me memorize Bible verses. I learned psalm 1 when I was about 8 years old and it’s been an anchor in my life. As always you guys breathe fresh insight into the pages of scripture. I use these for devotions with my kids frequently. Keep bringing it!

How just and upright You are! Your unfailing love toward those who fear You is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. Let the whole world fear and stand in awe of You Lord. You spoke and the world began; it appeared at Your command. Lord, You are our inheritance and hope. Thank You, Father, for Your love and compassion. Thank You for keeping Your covenant with us throughout the ages. Thank You for making us Your people. What a joy it is to be one of Your children. Father, You are good and Your faithful love endures forever.
