Today's Daily Lesson is Psalms 1:
1 Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of
the wicked, *
nor lingered in the way of sinners,
nor sat in the seats of the scornful!
2 Their delight is in the law of the Lord, *
and they meditate on his law day and night.
3 They are like trees planted by streams of water,
bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither; *
everything they do shall prosper.
4 It is not so with the wicked; *
they are like chaff which the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when
judgment comes, *
nor the sinner in the council of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, *
but the way of the wicked is doomed.
I'm looking out my window this morning at the old oak tree in my front yard. My house is almost 100 years old. Who knows how old the oak tree is, how many seasons it has had.
The seasons come and go. The wicked rise up in a sudden spring but then fade like grass in the summer. The oak remains.
The oak remains; and it stands tall and strong.
