Success Like A Tree – Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

Success Like a Tree Begins with a Warning!
Psalm 1: 1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
who does not stand in the way of sinners
who does not sit in the seat of mockers.
In other words… Whatever you do, Don’t!

We Don’t like to Be Told What We Can and Cannot Do
But read on….

Psalm1: 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.

Success Like a Tree Delights In Instruction
Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

Who Are You Listening To?

Psalm1: 4 Not so the wicked!

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
The point is clear:
“Stay Away From People Who Give You Bad Advice”
All Counsel is NOT Equal
Not everyone can be compared to good men such as Abraham Lincoln the 16th president of US (1809 – 1865).
Take heed to his warning when he said…
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Well known Men Can Mislead Us!
All there is some good examples (like President Lincoln) here’s some examples of well known men who have mislead us:
Joseph Stalin
Sadam Hussein
- You need good counsel.
- You can’t spend your life doing wrong things and expect things to turn out right.
- It’s not enough to learn something and apply it. You must learn the RIGHT thing and DO IT.
What the bible says about well known men:
“Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
Matthew 15:14
True Success is NOT Possible if you Follow Bad Advice but there is a Trustworthy Source of Counsel to guide you.
As you continue reading on this website ….
- your way of thinking may be challenged
- Your traditions may be confronted
- And Your mind may be offended
But let me ask you….
Can you afford to live your life like it is if there is a Better way?
Will you be satisfied with a man-made standard if there is a God-made one available?
Are you comfortable betting your future on man’s unproven philosophy and untried theories?
Are you willing to examine Godly truths that promise to deliver and make a way to make men rich in all things?
God Will Watch Over The Righteous
I leave you with this final verse.
Psalm1 : 6
For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,but the way of the wicked will perish.
Do you want God to watch over you?
The Bible promises that God will watch over the righteous, so seek His Kingdom first and all his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. Mathew 6:33
