Read Psalm 1

i) Is there any aspect of your life in which you are walking in the counsel of the wicked?

4) What does it mean to “stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers?”

i) Is there any way in your life in which you are doing those things?

5) What is the law of the Lord?

i) How do we delight in it?

6) Have you been meditating on God’s law? If not then what is it that you have been meditating on? There has to be something that you are thinking about right? Really take some time and think this one through. It is imprtant to know what you are meditating on? Is it video games, your boyfriend/girlfriend, how you are going to make tons friends at school, how you are going to get through school? What is it?

7) What does verse 3 say that the one who meditates on the law of the Lord is like?

8) What do verses 4 and 5 say that the wicked are like?

9) What does the Lord do over the way of the righteous and what will happen to the way of the wicked?

10) What way are you on and how is it that you determine what way you are on?
