Two ways; Psalm 1

Psalm 1:1-6
The psalm the compilers have chosen to introduce the whole hymnals is a 'wisdom' psalm. It points the way to God's blessing. There is another path, but those who choose it are doomed.
V1-3 picture the happy people who resolutely堅決 turn their backs on evil and set their hearts and minds on doing what God wants
V4-6 in terrible contrast, picture the present life and future fate of the wicked. The two go their separate ways, and all are on one path or the other; there is no third way.
Blessed man who forbid doing 1) walk in the council of the wicked, 2)stand in the way of sinners 3)sits in the seat of scoffs.
But blessed man who doing 1)delight in the law of the Lord 2)on his law he meditates day and night.
Consequences of blessed man: in all that he does, he prosper.
Consequences of wicked man: like chaff that the wind drives away. Perish.
Because the Lord knows the way of a man walked.
Why?
Blessed man do something and don't do something.
Don't try to walk, stand and sit in the way of wicked. It will lead to perish way. It is attractive places. Even don't try to test it.
Resolutely turn back on evil and set hearts and minds on doing what God wants.
Prosper and perish which way a man chose?
How?
Thank God I was prosper in everything in year 2014, it is the blessing of the Lord. I will do what God wants and resolutely turn my backs on evil in year 2015.
