Meditations on Psalm 1

I know I've sung (written) the praises of this psalm many times before, but just this week I have gained a new appreciation of it. I have seen concretely how true it is that those who love and live by God's law are protected from so much foolishness that would be easily avoided by heeding the advice of God given in Proverbs and in other books of the Bible. How much more pleasant would our lives be if we took to heart the many admonitions in Proverbs to think carefully before we speak? Meditating on God's law has saved me a lot of heartache, and kept me from making foolish and hasty decisions based solely on fluctuating emotions. Thank God for His written guidance!
