Psalms 1:1-3

Blessed [is] the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.  He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. 

This Psalms tells me to stay close to God. To keep my eyes and heart on Him. To think on Him and about Him so that I stay away from the things in this world that may harm me. It tells me that when my focus is  on God I am less likely to be led astray and that the Lord will bless me for this. It tells me that God is willing and able to satisfy all my needs and to take care of me.

It offers me peace, joy and hope that can only come from Him. No matter what is happening around me. I am like a tree firmly planted by the rivers. I stand “planted in Christ”. Thirsty for more, yet having all I need.

Also I found this link to a simple song by Sherri Youngward . Listening to it also added to my peace. Let me know what you think. Also, what does Psalm 1 say to you?
