Introduction

Psalm 1 serves as an introduction to the book of Psalms and introduces us to the Law of the LORD.

Scripture Reading

Psalm 1

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 1:6

The righteous are guided and protected by the LORD, but the evil are on the way to their doom.

Reflect

In verse 3, people who follow the Law are compared to trees growing beside a stream. Such trees put down deep roots that allow them to be healthy and bear fruit even in times of little rain. Does this metaphor resonate with your life in faith? The opening verse of Psalm 1 describes the true source of happiness. What does this verse teach you?

Pray

Holy God, like the trees of your creation nurture and sustain me and help me to set down deep roots so that my faith may bear fruit throughout the seasons of my life. Teach me that true happiness is found when I place my trust in you and follow your teachings. Amen.
