Psalm 1
1) Blessed is the man who doesn‘t walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2) But his delight is in the law of Yahweh; On his law he meditates day and night.
3) He shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.
4) The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5) Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

I am sleeping on the Psalm one, and I remember this song from my first year in Bible school and we went to Psalms class and this is the one that we had to memorize so the first Psalm of Psalms class. My first year in Bible school and this is the Psalm that we had to memorize and I I still think of it often yelling, I quoted generally from the King James, but today when I read it from two different versions one is the NIV in the second one is the message Bible and were going to speak on this and see how it is. And in the title of it is the blessed one, blessed is the man who walked not in the counsel of the ungodly, so blessed is the man is the King James, but you look at it from the NIV and says Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or set in the company of markers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and who meditates on his law day and night, that person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither, and whatever they do prosperous. 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 with the way of the wicked leads to destruction, and I was reading this out of the message Bible and I really like this you know ready for that. There, this is the message, but how well God must like you. You don't hang out at San saloon, you don't slink along dead end road. You don't go to smart mouth college like this one. I oh smart mouth college instead, Israel, the God 's word eulogy. One Scripture day and night your trade replanted in Eden bearing fresh fruit every month, never dropping a leading, always in blossom. You're not at all like the wicked who are mere windblown dust without defense in court on fit company for innocent people. God charts the road you take the road. They take is skid row, so I'll highlight that the brunt of this little bag in there with the sample is enough to bring it up for me the Blessed one. Everyone say the Blessed one, the last one again again. The last one is its interesting the psalmist. I think there again. There subtly different ways we can look at it, and summative are things that we can think up if you'd like to give me a knife to bring it up. Thank you, Justin forgotten after the weather, then that's all we need caramel that while the writer here and then to the book of Psalms here for the Psalm one is declaring the joys of following God by obeying his word. There are joys in following God by obeying his word and there are consequences to those who refuse to listen. And of course we we all are aware of critics and people who are individuals who criticize the word and criticize faith, but we find that in our life. We listen to a lot of different voices and we listen to a lot of different things around us, whether it's on the TV or on the radio or in the newspaper or in printed with your books your now have individuals and things were we and again were going to be up on what's around us with pay attention to what's going on around us, so mostly dull. We are influenced by our friends and friends are individuals who we consider to be close to us on things that we have in common together this past week. I want a new talk shows again how I visited a lot of visiting peoples are now visiting in nursing homes and in the almost always have these have their televisions on and of course this talkshow that I and I caught a few moments of in between rooms are in a room was that the ladies of their two ladies one of those Kathy Lee Gifford and someone else and they nearly always have these things going on and out they were talking about relationships and friendships, and I know I've said this before, but when I worked with the things I I I I have mentioned this before, but they brought it up again that we are in the average of our five closest friends. So when you take into consideration who are your five closest friends. They are the ones that you generally fit in with our part. So if you want to know who you are in your character and your thinking. Look at your five closest friends and I will give you a good indication of what you are and how you look at life in all, and if they are always grumbling and complaining chances are you fit in well saw you what I sure that you are again, this isn't a criticism& and it is just a way to be the recognized where whereat your hot, what is the barometer of how we do things. You see, I like the illustration that we are either a thermometer or a parameter on my number of the radar on the thermometer or a thermostat okay, what's the difference between a thermometer and thermostat. The thermostat sets the temperature thermometer tells you what the temperature is editorialized. We want to beat. We want to set the standard we want to set the temperature we want. We want to be in a position to be able to know what imager is inside it. Okay, so we know that if we look at our friends. We look at the people around us, and if they are individuals who mock God and our taking tearing down our faith. They are really not friends. A friend is a person attached to another by affection or emotion or steam now the emotion that is here is considered a moderate feeling of closeness that now is not the same as a husband and wife, father, mother, child& type of relationship that we have as friends, but there is a connection, an emotional bond that is there and any person who tries to use their friendship to manipulate is not really a friend because an individual 's who tries to manipulate is a user and abuser friends except us for who we are. They know all about us and they like us. Anyhow, now that all your pitfalls in your good thing about things and the other still a friend, and there generally are few and far between, but as we look at this Psalm, we see that there are always individuals on those who are blessed and those who are hanging out its insulin, so the missile men state saw the importance and the impact that people have on others, and upon the line so, in this Psalm, we find that there are two paths before and only two one one verse one Blessed is the one blessed is the one ready. I blessed is the one blessed me highly favored so blessed is the one highly favorite is the one who enjoys what enjoys the pleasure, enjoys this blessed man who walked not in account so highly favored is the man who got who knows what he believes and what he doesn't believe. And so whenever we are blessed we are under a divine care. We are under divine influence, we are blessed so blessed is the one that does not walk in step with the wicked does not walk in the counsel of the wicked were the ungodly, or you don't hang out its insulin and people without God people I have its insulin people about God are generally looking look at life from a perspective of the first that they what's better make me feel good. Let's make me look good with my making more than what I am and so they are very critical than a higher power or greater influence in our life than themselves. So whenever we say that we believe in God we have already put some people at this and it was limping the cities they are agitated. They are unsettled United in practice, it's surprising how many different people or other on Sunday morning at Perkins in a diagnosis. This is one lady I don't know her involvement in this settlement. Her husband and down. I won't get too much to me was something but the which is very critical of her friends to come to breakfast, late because they have to go to church first before they come to breakfast and sold energy. This lady many times is critical before the other lady gets there. All of the wonders went to church whenever people go to church water claim to decide whether they believe what I think of this and has very critical of anyone who has especially her friend who has faith, and I wonder sometimes and sometimes they have gotten into an conversation and breakfast about their faith and the person is always very critical and derogatory to the one who goes to church about her going to church and all the reasons they're going on there so people about God generally think of themselves they are the first in the soulless is saying, Blessed is the one that does not walk in step with them, that blessed is the one who doesn't listen to their counsel usually the people who are not walking in step with God will try to get you out of step with your walk with God will try to get you away from the divine purpose that God has for your life, and so they will want you to hang out. It stands alone, they will want you to go to the place where you are in your life is lost and that you that you let's go hang out on the dead-end road. You can imagine it, we would never get the lockup, some might say, let's go to dead-end street and lived there and while I don't live there, but whenever you are without God. What happens, you're going on a dead-end street. You don't do things that lead nowhere, seeing we are looking at our life and that we see ourselves from a purpose driven life God is my preference that don't ever get hung up on the fact that you may do something wrong or you may fail. Learn the others. There's no one perfectly. We went over this in Sunday school in Jan. The Bible talks about people and gives us the whole picture, now Nola after he had no built the ark. Then notes save the animals and his family. Now he went to the same saloon got drunk, David a doctor in talks about him and his family Bathsheba and say all his having your why her husband killed coming there. There are some really nasty characters in the Bible that God has changed them God has taken them from their fit their derby and their behaviors and change their lives and so don't ever get hung up on who you are or were said this in Sunday school. You can always tell who is bringing to your memory, your past and when God reminds us of our past. He does so soon. In the context of what he has brought us from and that he has taken us from that life and has a life in front of us to go towards when evil brings up our past is to paralyze us. There were no good. We have failed and that you can expect to get anything more out of life than what you already have, you see, whenever we look at our thoughts. We are determining who has brought this up evil brings up our path in order to stop us from growth, God will remind us that we had come from there and has a greater purpose for us in the future keywords words where were going to the next section of this important than says you don't go to the Smart mouth college yell sits in the seat of the mockers mock really feeling belittling, it's surprising how much am I I. I'm surprised at how much of our political agenda and people on television and so on are being sold very critical of the other parties of people who don't believe them, basically calling them uneducated, uninformed and stupid, if you can imagine how stupid those people are and it's like it's the smart mouth colleges, the ridicule the idea in our life is that we are to choose wisely the path that we take blessed is the one blessed is the one writing Blessed is the one and the and the message Bible says how well God must like Blessed is the one how well God must like you, because verse two Israel to God 's word. You are thrilled by God 's word delight in God 's law, that the entire book is something that we can do like him, because the Bible is not there to put us understand throw us into some format of no cookie-cutter Christian. It is that each one of us are finding the will and purpose of God in who we are, how they promised to do work in our life so you throughout the God 's word. The word of God is life, heaven and earth will pass away, but this will never pass away. It is the security of God 's word. What is spoken in this word is eternal God will honor his word from times past to the present till eternity. This book this book our life, and they are fruit, they are strength in our direction and is where we find our security in knowing God is the foundation for our line. He said his word and he healed them. The word gives direction the word gives confidence, the word gives strength that God gives us these promises the calculus in the art and are aspects of life. He comes in with his word that I will never leave you nor forsake you. You confess your sin, he is faithful and just to forgive you your sins cleanse you from all unrighteousness. These are truths that are placed for us in the word of God, and as we take him and digest them think on them. They bring us hope in life have is a prepared place beside the repair place for you that where I am there. You may be also. Heaven is a place, Rob, I get to solo the word 's birthday says Jill on the Scriptures, day and night chill on the Jersey cow chewing a kind and what the children what is already eaten it, and then regurgitated for those of you don't know, as I'm a stomach for specific, and I and in and in regard to take it shows up and swallow them again in our life. We are chewing on the word of God. I want you to read this on again and again and again and again with that music, it's chewing on it. It's one pastor said this woman is mean to me how so we read it again okay. Your x-ray replanted and he allow this one. Your x-ray replanted and even if you are in God 's garden replanted it means that you my growing somewhere that wasn't done on the go to do much for you, but God transplanted human. The gardening your tree planted by what reflected by Eden becoming fresh fruit every month never drop really always wasn't your tree planted in the your tree planted by the guard in it by the stream bank. I have Apple here Bronwyn at informing now is up to something went, what it ever as the Jason and now I think they those Jews in their cousins. It looks like they still got something to offer right how to just get in there. How do you put juice and apple. I put Joseph and Apple becomes the road system. I the only way you can soak in water and put why I might get some minutes, but the judges in the Apple how to get James to the roots, but thought I'd say you have to collect the blank return. While we are. We are actually replanted in the yellow yellow taxes. We are planted by the river was the man walked by the counts of the godliness that way as an assistant. See the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and as long as he meditate day and I easily like a three-pointer by the rubberized on water so that the road system on the tree rings in the water gets inside you, and how to get inside of the Apple phone comes from the Google connection focus in this little stem cell. This whole Apple comes on this little step our lives are filled with the refreshing water of God through a little confession that we may in our life is changed forever and we are saturated with God because of some little things that we do, we confess our sins and our sins are forgiven. The things it would cut us off from the stand from the branch from the trunk from the root because in the soil and into God that we are we are cut off from that by sin and God says I'm an free you up I'm going to allow my spirit to go in and your life, everything that you do will prosper. This is Apple prosperous is accomplished its purpose. It's filled with life filled with Jews should be among the shows no JVC just look at the juice that comes out of this Apple if you just look at that useless Josie just got a close-up of this. Josie chose so you find these apples. What this is, my goodness. So what is God. He says your trade plans in any nerve replanted where my God, you're replanted whereby the River of God, and you are receiving the nourishment from cod source, God sorts if his water. The water of the word. We are refreshed by the water of the word, and any comes into our life as a hobby out of the water in an Apple comes up through the roots you don't porn in India in as you watch the apples grow and nurture. They start out as blogs and then innovate me a bigger and bigger and bigger while the appellee, the train the whole time is not racing each little laugh on x-ray areas from prying the water for the root system into each of apples. Well, your fruit your life is filled with the water of God 's word. Your life is filled with the nourishment of God. Now we may not think too much about it. And sometimes we get all upset over life is all but guess what the winds and storms come the stores, given the word of God continues to what come into our lives through the root system through our belief system is that Blessed is the one how well God must like you how well God must why because you're like a tree that bears fruit. The juicy apple to your blast because you're not insane saloon, your blessed because you're not a dead end road. You are blessed because you're not, you did not attend smart mouth college, your blessed because use relic. God 's word was how to get the spirit of God in people you dump it in the know you connected to the source, Jesus is our source and his life, his love flow into our lives. I don't come around. Twenty book of water help your gods. Now we get your confession. We go to a drawer growth. We do it through our prayers. We do through coming to church, being part of the body of Christ. We took a seat. This apple chutney minus two to develop that took years for the trade route that it has its way of becoming analyzed. There are lots of fruit that we produced and we don't even know if that's a natural thing. The change that takes place in our lives. You are blessed bearing fruit. When I want to talk about never drop a leaf. You're always in bloom. How well God must like you. It seems like you got altogether. We laugh because we know there are so many things we don't have together we get to the people who are found dead in a row road dead-end street sin saloon, you've got a together because you got something in your life that they don't have you got something added to your life, you never had before, because God is with you. The wicked are not. So why is there that will all know out of all like the wicked you are more than merely long DOS chaff that holds the grain until the harvest, and then when the window harvest is ready that the chaff is taken off of the grain and he thrown up in the air and the rain comes down the chaff is blown away chaff has no lasting value. The Windows circumstances, what they look like long way when the pleasure what they feel like blown away the wind Presti age will be more more important than anyone else's blown away. You see the wicked will be without a defense court when life is over and when everyone's life is on trial. They have no defense for the waste of life. They hung out at the wrong places. They walked down the wrong road and they were so critical. They couldn't find the truth. Verse five says they aren't fit company for innocent people. They are unfit company for innocent people. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. You see the credits of God. In this phone won't have to look at things in the adult have a critical analysis of something you know when you take a look at the word, and they did understand it. We need another context that was written and dominated all the things you just don't buy the whole bill of goods without some I'm understanding the Lord will now not criticizing or saying we shouldn't know how I think and examine what people say no cards. Lots of people and lots of things to say. Not all of them are right and some of them claim to be speakers for God, and some of them are, but some of them are in the spirit witnessed bears witness with your spirit. You are the child of God, and what the truth about this if it is being being stated is, we need to know the truth not allow people to speak what they claim to be true than is not really in the book, so we need to be aware of that but the critics of life, those who laugh that God laughing any type of faith in God they criticize any type of bit religion nor any type of morals or any type of standard that we would attribute to description our relationship with God. They are critical of it. And when judgment day comes, they will not stand. They will kneel before God and God says that they will be unfit to assemble with the righteous young. There are two judgments with the end-of-life. When life is over rolls over and all that their two judgments. One is the judgment seat of Christ, the judgment seat of Christ, as were all of the righteous will stand before God all those confess the Nass price to forgive them of their sins, they will stand before God and God will reward them according to what we have done for him, but the second judgment is the great white throne judgment, and that is where all of the wicked will stand before God they the critics of God and faith. They will be there and they will not stand in the same place, but the righteous, they will have noted fence for sins, the one dead-end street there was no defense for their life and they will be cast out into darkness, but blessed is the one blessed is the one blessed is the one how well God must like you for use relic. God 's word. You chew on the Scriptures. Your tree planted by the rivers of life in Eden. You bear fruit every month for the Lord watches all the way of the righteous parsecs the Lord watches over the way of the righteous yell. We all feel right to something else feels so good sometimes. You know, I actually is planted by the river and storms come up on our leafs don't fall off the storms come and cut bad times common in employing the train against what the fruit never comes out of season. It continues to blossom the continues to grow, and if there continuously in our lives and we become this trade is planted and the root system that is in our life is is nourished by God stream by God 's love by God 's purpose and we find ourselves refreshed. There is juice in the Apple became through the roots there's life in the heart pain from God 's Spirit. There is hope in our life, because we know the word. The word gives us hope the wicked verse six they take skid row that has led them to destruction. The sad, sad, sad how many people have knowingly taken the wrong road. Blessed is the one that we pray as long as there is life there is hope. You know they go I I spend a lot of time at had spent a lot of time individuals in the last weeks of their life. Nothing am going to miss most about not being at the hospital is being able to maybe it got open up other doors of no idea about that but at the last moments of life being there to and let people come back before their knowledge of God in their confession of faith in Christ and since forgiven to find that they have a place of hope that they can in the last partial portion of their life they can find a place of hope and eyepiece and in our lives. We don't have to wait until that day, we begin to live in hope. Now knowing that we have a place we have a direction we have a purpose. We have something we have all life that was born by God in here before you were ever formed in your mother 's will. God says, I knew you are placed in the plan and a purpose for you, Wes is the one who finds this. How well God must like you, because God charts the road you take hee hee reply assumed by River and the bear fruit. Each month, your leaf doesn't fall you always orange blossom, and how well God must like you, because whatever you do prosperous whatever you do, comes out fruitful as we win the lottery. It means that what we do has a purpose of taste and see that the Lord is good people. And no, but God is good, people will look at your life while how God must like how is that happen. We've given our life to Christ. He has transplanted our life by his River. Our roots go into the stream of life and that life comes up through the tree through the lens out into the branches and into the fruit blessed is the one who doesn't walk in the step with the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the company of markers, but delights in the law of the Lord, who meditates on his law day and night, that person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf doesn't weather whatever they do prosperous, but so the wicked. They are like chaff blown away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in judgment. They will not stand in judgment. They will kneel, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous with a righteous get-together. Those centers won't be there for Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the wicked leads to destruction. Blessed is the one how well God must like you just picture this looked in the mirror. Picture yourself looking in the mirror and read these words how well God must like you think of how well God must like you to make you feel good to help out somebody say that out loud goggles like you got less like you are well. God must like you. You know now that this insulating you slink along the dead-end road and you don't doubt a smart mouth college instead you thrilled to God 's word. You chew on the Scriptures, day and night your tree planted replanted in each bearing fresh fruit every month, never dropping a leaf, always in blossom yet not all at all like the wicked who are merely windblown dust without defense in court and unfit company for innocent people. God charts the road you take the road. They take skidrow that don't go there go God 's way. How well God likes you chose them. Father how well you love us and visit the at this moment in time we stopped to say thank you for loving us, you look beyond our sins are faults are failures and you see the need of our lives. God, if we have sent in our sin. Oh God, we confess we ask your forgiveness. Forgiveness of our sins of God inclines us from all unrighteousness. Replant us in your garden. Let our roots grow deep in your River into your spirits into your life. May the nourishment of view of God flow into our lives into our tree into our minds and into our fruits for God. You have prospered us in many ways. Continual God to bless us and direct our paths. We ask in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ, and everyone said amen, so turn to someone and say, well, God must like youI am sleeping on the Psalm one, and I remember this song from my first year in Bible school and we went to Psalms class and this is the one that we had to memorize so the first Psalm of Psalms class.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord and who meditates on his law day and night, that person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither, and whatever they do prosperous. Not so the wicked. They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

All of the wonders went to church whenever people go to church water claim to decide whether they believe what I think of this and has very critical of anyone who has especially her friend who has faith, and I wonder sometimes and sometimes they have gotten into an conversation and breakfast about their faith and the person is always very critical and derogatory to the one who goes to church about her going to church and all the reasons they're going on there so people about God generally think of themselves they are the first in the soulless is saying, Blessed is the one that does not walk in step with them, that blessed is the one who doesn't listen to their counsel usually the people who are not walking in step with God will try to get you out of step with your walk with God will try to get you away from the divine purpose that God has for your life, and so they will want you to hang out. It stands alone, they will want you to go to the place where you are in your life is lost and that you that you let's go hang out on the dead-end road. You can imagine it, we would never get the lockup, some might say, let's go to dead-end street and lived there and while I don't live there, but whenever you are without God. What happens, you're going on a dead-end street. You don't do things that lead nowhere, seeing we are looking at our life and that we see ourselves from a purpose driven life God is my preference that don't ever get hung up on the fact that you may do something wrong or you may fail. Learn the others. There's no one perfectly. We went over this in Sunday school in Jan. The Bible talks about people and gives us the whole picture, now Nola after he had no built the ark. Then notes save the animals and his family.

There are some really nasty characters in the Bible that God has changed them God has taken them from their fit their derby and their behaviors and change their lives and so don't ever get hung up on who you are or were said this in Sunday school. You can always tell who is bringing to your memory, your past and when God reminds us of our past. He does so soon. In the context of what he has brought us from and that he has taken us from that life and has a life in front of us to go towards when evil brings up our past is to paralyze us. There were no good. We have failed and that you can expect to get anything more out of life than what you already have, you see, whenever we look at our thoughts. We are determining who has brought this up evil brings up our path in order to stop us from growth, God will remind us that we had come from there and has a greater purpose for us in the future keywords words where were going to the next section of this important than says you don't go to the Smart mouth college yell sits in the seat of the mockers mock really feeling belittling, it's surprising how much am I I.

He comes in with his word that I will never leave you nor forsake you. You confess your sin, he is faithful and just to forgive you your sins cleanse you from all unrighteousness. These are truths that are placed for us in the word of God, and as we take him and digest them think on them.

Your x-ray replanted and even if you are in God 's garden replanted it means that you my growing somewhere that wasn't done on the go to do much for you, but God transplanted human. The gardening your tree planted by what reflected by Eden becoming fresh fruit every month never drop really always wasn't your tree planted in the your tree planted by the guard in it by the stream bank. I have Apple here Bronwyn at informing now is up to something went, what it ever as the Jason and now I think they those Jews in their cousins. It looks like they still got something to offer right how to just get in there. How do you put juice and apple. I put Joseph and Apple becomes the road system. I the only way you can soak in water and put why I might get some minutes, but the judges in the Apple how to get James to the roots, but thought I'd say you have to collect the blank return. While we are. We are actually replanted in the yellow yellow taxes. We are planted by the river was the man walked by the counts of the godliness that way as an assistant. See the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and as long as he meditate day and I easily like a three-pointer by the rubberized on water so that the road system on the tree rings in the water gets inside you, and how to get inside of the Apple phone comes from the Google connection focus in this little stem cell. This whole Apple comes on this little step our lives are filled with the refreshing water of God through a little confession that we may in our life is changed forever and we are saturated with God because of some little things that we do, we confess our sins and our sins are forgiven. The things it would cut us off from the stand from the branch from the trunk from the root because in the soil and into God that we are we are cut off from that by sin and God says I'm an free you up I'm going to allow my spirit to go in and your life, everything that you do will prosper. This is Apple prosperous is accomplished its purpose. It's filled with life filled with Jews should be among the shows no JVC just look at the juice that comes out of this Apple if you just look at that useless Josie just got a close-up of this. Josie chose so you find these apples. What this is, my goodness. So what is God. He says your trade plans in any nerve replanted where my God, you're replanted whereby the River of God, and you are receiving the nourishment from cod source, God sorts if his water. The water of the word. We are refreshed by the water of the word, and any comes into our life as a hobby out of the water in an Apple comes up through the roots you don't porn in India in as you watch the apples grow and nurture. They start out as blogs and then innovate me a bigger and bigger and bigger while the appellee, the train the whole time is not racing each little laugh on x-ray areas from prying the water for the root system into each of apples. Well, your fruit your life is filled with the water of God 's word. Your life is filled with the nourishment of God. Now we may not think too much about it. And sometimes we get all upset over life is all but guess what the winds and storms come the stores, given the word of God continues to what come into our lives through the root system through our belief system is that Blessed is the one how well God must like you how well God must why because you're like a tree that bears fruit. The juicy apple to your blast because you're not insane saloon, your blessed because you're not a dead end road. You are blessed because you're not, you did not attend smart mouth college, your blessed because use relic. God 's word was how to get the spirit of God in people you dump it in the know you connected to the source, Jesus is our source and his life, his love flow into our lives. I don't come around. Twenty book of water help your gods. Now we get your confession. We go to a drawer growth. We do it through our prayers. We do through coming to church, being part of the body of Christ. We took a seat. This apple chutney minus two to develop that took years for the trade route that it has its way of becoming analyzed. There are lots of fruit that we produced and we don't even know if that's a natural thing. The change that takes place in our lives. You are blessed bearing fruit. When I want to talk about never drop a leaf. You're always in bloom. How well God must like you. It seems like you got altogether. We laugh because we know there are so many things we don't have together we get to the people who are found dead in a row road dead-end street sin saloon, you've got a together because you got something in your life that they don't have you got something added to your life, you never had before, because God is with you. The wicked are not. So why is there that will all know out of all like the wicked you are more than merely long DOS chaff that holds the grain until the harvest, and then when the window harvest is ready that the chaff is taken off of the grain and he thrown up in the air and the rain comes down the chaff is blown away chaff has no lasting value. The Windows circumstances, what they look like long way when the pleasure what they feel like blown away the wind Presti age will be more more important than anyone else's blown away. You see the wicked will be without a defense court when life is over and when everyone's life is on trial. They have no defense for the waste of life. They hung out at the wrong places. They walked down the wrong road and they were so critical. They couldn't find the truth. Verse five says they aren't fit company for innocent people. They are unfit company for innocent people. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. You see the credits of God. In this phone won't have to look at things in the adult have a critical analysis of something you know when you take a look at the word, and they did understand it. We need another context that was written and dominated all the things you just don't buy the whole bill of goods without some I'm understanding the Lord will now not criticizing or saying we shouldn't know how I think and examine what people say no cards. Lots of people and lots of things to say. Not all of them are right and some of them claim to be speakers for God, and some of them are, but some of them are in the spirit witnessed bears witness with your spirit. You are the child of God, and what the truth about this if it is being being stated is, we need to know the truth not allow people to speak what they claim to be true than is not really in the book, so we need to be aware of that but the critics of life, those who laugh that God laughing any type of faith in God they criticize any type of bit religion nor any type of morals or any type of standard that we would attribute to description our relationship with God. They are critical of it. And when judgment day comes, they will not stand. They will kneel before God and God says that they will be unfit to assemble with the righteous young. There are two judgments with the end-of-life. When life is over rolls over and all that their two judgments. One is the judgment seat of Christ, the judgment seat of Christ, as were all of the righteous will stand before God all those confess the Nass price to forgive them of their sins, they will stand before God and God will reward them according to what we have done for him, but the second judgment is the great white throne judgment, and that is where all of the wicked will stand before God they the critics of God and faith. They will be there and they will not stand in the same place, but the righteous, they will have noted fence for sins, the one dead-end street there was no defense for their life and they will be cast out into darkness, but blessed is the one blessed is the one blessed is the one how well God must like you for use relic. God 's word. You chew on the Scriptures. Your tree planted by the rivers of life in Eden. You bear fruit every month for the Lord watches all the way of the righteous parsecs the Lord watches over the way of the righteous yell. We all feel right to something else feels so good sometimes. You know, I actually is planted by the river and storms come up on our leafs don't fall off the storms come and cut bad times common in employing the train against what the fruit never comes out of season. It continues to blossom the continues to grow, and if there continuously in our lives and we become this trade is planted and the root system that is in our life is is nourished by God stream by God 's love by God 's purpose and we find ourselves refreshed. There is juice in the Apple became through the roots there's life in the heart pain from God 's Spirit. There is hope in our life, because we know the word. The word gives us hope the wicked verse six they take skid row that has led them to destruction. The sad, sad, sad how many people have knowingly taken the wrong road. Blessed is the one that we pray as long as there is life there is hope. You know they go I I spend a lot of time at had spent a lot of time individuals in the last weeks of their life. Nothing am going to miss most about not being at the hospital is being able to maybe it got open up other doors of no idea about that but at the last moments of life being there to and let people come back before their knowledge of God in their confession of faith in Christ and since forgiven to find that they have a place of hope that they can in the last partial portion of their life they can find a place of hope and eyepiece and in our lives. We don't have to wait until that day, we begin to live in hope. Now knowing that we have a place we have a direction we have a purpose. We have something we have all life that was born by God in here before you were ever formed in your mother 's will. God says, I knew you are placed in the plan and a purpose for you, Wes is the one who finds this. How well God must like you, because God charts the road you take hee hee reply assumed by River and the bear fruit. Each month, your leaf doesn't fall you always orange blossom, and how well God must like you, because whatever you do prosperous whatever you do, comes out fruitful as we win the lottery. It means that what we do has a purpose of taste and see that the Lord is good people. And no, but God is good, people will look at your life while how God must like how is that happen. We've given our life to Christ. He has transplanted our life by his River. Our roots go into the stream of life and that life comes up through the tree through the lens out into the branches and into the fruit blessed is the one who doesn't walk in the step with the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the company of markers, but delights in the law of the Lord, who meditates on his law day and night, that person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf doesn't weather whatever they do prosperous, but so the wicked. They are like chaff blown away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in judgment. They will not stand in judgment. They will kneel, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous with a righteous get-together. Those centers won't be there for Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the wicked leads to destruction. Blessed is the one how well God must like you just picture this looked in the mirror. Picture yourself looking in the mirror and read these words how well God must like you think of how well God must like you to make you feel good to help out somebody say that out loud goggles like you got less like you are well. God must like you. You know now that this insulating you slink along the dead-end road and you don't doubt a smart mouth college instead you thrilled to God 's word. You chew on the Scriptures, day and night your tree planted replanted in each bearing fresh fruit every month, never dropping a leaf, always in blossom yet not all at all like the wicked who are merely windblown dust without defense in court and unfit company for innocent people. God charts the road you take the road. They take skidrow that don't go there go God 's way. How well God likes you chose them. Father how well you love us and visit the at this moment in time we stopped to say thank you for loving us, you look beyond our sins are faults are failures and you see the need of our lives.
