vs 1 – “the way of sinners”vs 2 – “the way of the righteous”
= echoed by first and last words of the Psalm:
“Blessed … perish”
= summary – result in vs 6:
- way of the righteous – the Lord watches over- way of the wicked – will perish
A. Two Ways:
B. The Blessed Road= meaning:
- NIV notes – “happy condition”
- NLT vs 1 + 2:12 – “joy”
= sounds like a sickness …
= sounds like a celebration!
= requires two actions: negative and positive
1. “do not” = turning away from Stuff to leave behind– that will let you down …
2. “do this” = turning towardTake delight in the
Lord and His law
C. The Road to Avoidvs 1 – “Blessed are those who do not:
WALK -- STAND -- SIT
= NIV makes it easy to see the subtlety of sin- of not turning to God but away from Him
= you get “sucked in”- progressively more rooted in the wrong
MOVE -- POSITION -- SETTLE
D. The DestinationsTwo images:
1. Tree planted by the water - life, strength,
roots, fruit - picture of heaven (Rev
22)
2. Chaff blown by the wind- dead, left-over,
rubbish- picture of hell (Rev. 20)
