Where There's a Will,
There's A Way

Psalm 1

September 25, 2005
Speaker: Randal Myers

Psalm 1:1-6

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.

Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Where There's a Will, There's a Way (to be Blessed)

  • Minimize the Perils
    • Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked... - Psalm 1:1
    • If you walk with the wicked, you open yourself to influence from them.
    • There is a progression shown. First you walk, then you stand, and finally you sit.
  • Choose the Positive
    • But his delight is in the law of the LORD... - Psalm 1:2
  • Enjoy the Promises
    • He is like a tree planted by streams of water... - Psalm 1:3
    • The blessings are promised, not accidental.
      • The tree will be fruitful, nourished, and will prosper.

Conclusion

Life has meaning, purpose, and satisfaction because it has been placed in the hands of God.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. - Psalm 1:2

God has left his will...will you find a way?
