Contemplation on Psalm 1
Psalm 1 speaks about two possible ways of living our lives: “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; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law, he meditates day and night” (Ps 1:1–2).
One way is the way of righteousness, and the other is the way of the wicked. Two ways of living spiritually affect how we live our physical lives. Health pays the greatest price of choice to live the lives of wicked, sinners, and scoffers. Constant meditation on the Word of God, day and night which means – without ceasing, is the key to the balance in our hectic lives.
