Psalm 1 - the righteous vs the wicked

Good morning and GOD morning to you all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  Today, begin with the saying "NO TODAY SATAN!!" and believe it.
   We have ended with Job and moving on I would like to say that what we should take away from Job is that suffering brings humility; suffering helps us rely on God; and  GOD IS ALWAYS THERE FOR US!!!
  I felt a little more about Psalm 1 was in order and I do pray I do it justice here.              Psalm 1 describes righteous people in verses 1-3 and verses 4-6 describe the wicked.  Righteous people are blessed.  They have a negative response to evil and positive to good and avoid the advice and ways of the wicked.  Let us look at this: 
  What the righteous do not do:  Psalm 1: Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
  What the righteous do: 2  but whose delight is in the law of the Lordand who meditates on his law day and night.
   So what is the result of being righteous: 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
   Here is about the wicked: Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
   So what about the wicked: Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
   So what is the final result: 6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous   but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. 
   Again, I discussed this earlier last week, but wanted to revisit Psalm 1.  May we all act, respond, and live the righteous way. Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
