In a world that celebrates the wicked, God calls us blessed by us intentionally choosing to walk in God's ways, revealing that true holiness is counter-cultural and rooted in Godly instruction. God tells us right up front that His favor rests on you as you delight yourself in His way of thinking. You are blessed as you make His ways your life's foundation.

Psalm 1 "Blessed is the one..." explodes in our spirit with a strong confirmation that our deliberate, daily, situational choice to align with God's righteousness, empowered by the Holy Spirit, transforms our lives and sets us apart from those who choose otherwise. In Psalm 1, God wastes not time in portraying a vivid contrast between those who follow His path and those who do not. Psalm 1 challenges us to evaluate our lives and seek God earnestly, ensuring our steps are firmly planted in His ways.
