Two Roads. Two Destinies

Psalm 1, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” 

Choose your path. This psalm contrasts the blessed person who is rooted by streams of living water in God’s Word, with the wicked who disdain God’s Word because they ignore it. Such people are weightless as chaff. Meditation is not emptying the mind but filling it with law-delight until fruit shows in season. Stability or scatter; flourishing or judgment, no neutral ground exists. Christ perfectly walked the righteous road, then bore the curse of the other so we might be transplanted beside His river.
