It draws the readers attention to both the uselessness of the wicked and to the ease with which God deals with them, like the wind that so easily picks up the chaff and blows it away. Scripture teaches that the believer, if he continues on in a life of carnality, can begin to look like the wicked (1 Cor. The ungodly are not so, 25:31-46). The righteous man does not have these signs of death and dryness; his leaves are green and alive. How would you summarize the main point(s) and idea(s) of this psalm?

The first part of the psalm David talks about God being his shepherd and he is the sheep. In the counsel. Counsel is the Hebrew [emailprotected]>h which means, purpose, plan, resolution of the will, or deliberation, viewpoint, way of thinking.

Isaiah 57:20-21 But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud. Psalm 13 is a psalm of lament - an impassionate cry for help from the Lord.

As to this life, the wicked, those who walk independently of God (believers or unbelievers), are driven about by the false counsel of the world, by satanic and human viewpoint (Eph. This verb actually means to transplant, not merely plant. This is rich and significant. As it is presented, it demonstrates the process of retrogression, which always occurs when men are not advancing in Gods words and way of life. 1 a Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of b evildoers, nor does he walk in the way of sinners, nor sit in the chair of scoffers, 2 but in the a Jehovah's law is his b delight, and in his law c meditate day and night.

And whatever he does shall prosper: It isnt that the righteous man has a Midas Touch, and everything he does makes him rich and comfortable. God often engineers failure as mirrors of reproof and instruments of growth. 4:17f). The genres in Psalms identify and group the books by the main idea of the psalm. 15, 33, 102, 103, 111, 113 . First, it means the righteous man knows how to discern the counsel of the ungodly. The wicked are earthdwellers, those bent on getting all the gusto they can out of this life with little or no concern for God and eternity.

Psalm 1 says Israel's obedience to the law would result in blessing, while the wicked would end in destruction. The data reveals, among other things, an astounding degree of theological illiteracy: 84 percent of those who claim the evangelical label embrace the notion that in salvation God helps those who help themselves, 77 percent believe that human beings are basically good and that good people go to heaven regardless of their relationship to Christ, while more than half of those surveyed affirmed self-fulfillment as their first priority. d.

Spurgeon on chaff: Intrinsically worthless, dead, unserviceable, without substance, and easily carried away. There is a huge difference between a tree and chaff. By the sound of the words, the Hebrew has a play on these words which drive this home. Like the Hebrew language itself, Hebrew poetry uses vivid images, similes, and metaphors to communicate thoughts and feelings. This must not be understood in the sense of legalistic obedience to a set of rules and principles, like a prescription or a formula, but in the sense of an obedience of faith that such a life brings to the one who believes the concepts of this passage. And sometimes God allows severe suffering for other reasons as He did with Job. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

As one who delights and meditates in the Word, Scripture is consulted and used as a guide for whatever he does (Prov. b. Of course, but this is not a blank check to be filled in as we want.

Lets look at each of these three negative statements in their three-fold breakdown: Does not walk. Walk is the Hebrew h`l^K which metaphorically means, to go along with, follow a course of action, or to live, follow a way of life. It has the idea of go along with, use, follow. The tense is decisive, he is one who has chosen not to follow this path. The man who experiences great blessing is one who has a love affair with Gods Word. 2:1-12; Matt. Now, what are those things?

David, the greatest of Israel's kings, fell into serious sin and recognized his need to plead with God for forgiveness. (1) A tree has deep roots and is usually very sturdy, especially when compared to a tumble weed. But his delight is in This statement is emphatic in two ways: by the fact it is a nominal clause (no finite verb), and by the word order. and more. It draws our attention to the difference between the righteous and wicked. Compare Psalm 37:6 and note the kind of prosperity God primarily has in mind (spiritual prosperity, discernment, and godly character). He who acts by bad counsel may soon do evil deeds; and he who abandons himself to evil doings may end his life in total apostasy from God. (Clarke).

Others have also seen in this a progression of sin. God gives him peace and rest because he can trust Him. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul, He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.

It is often used in Scripture in a protective sense and refers to Gods providential care and love, which includes the eternal security of believers and His divine provision. ; Book 2 - Psalms 42-72 - Like Exodus, this book describes ruin, and rescue by God. 1:8). Primarily they are unstable, blown about from pillar to post because they have no spiritual roots in the Word of God (cf. Psa. The fruit comes naturally from this tree, because it is planted by the rivers of water. We never stand still! Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, This emphasis is borne out throughout Scripture (cf. 3:3), and though he is saved, he will experience serious consequences as we shall see in the material below. In the Old Testament, Israel was viewed as the wife of yahweh and in the New Testament the church is the bride of Jesus Christ. The great lesson to be learned from the whole is, sin is progressive; one evil propensity or act leads to another. But for the complete picture we need New Testament revelation. As far as the believers fruitfulness is concerned, this means studying and becoming prepared to serve in special ways according to ones gifts and Gods timing (compare Moses, Paul and Christ). In New Testament terms this means: (a) daily time with the Lord (Hebrew 3:7), and (b) weekly times of assembling together with other believers (Hebrew 10:24-25). They are not advancing in their life with Christ, but are materialistic, earthly-oriented, living as earthdwellers and not sojourners. "Psalm" does not reflect concern about time's passage, while "Auspex" displays anxiety about it. 3:6-7). 4:2). Compare: Isaiah 53:10-11 (the good pleasure, i.e., the purpose, business, cause); Isaiah 58:13 (your own pleasure, i.e., business, affairs); and Proverbs 31:13 (and works at the business of her hands).3 The principle is that the study of Gods Word is to be one of the key purposes and affairs in our life in which we delight and to which we give careful attention. To transplant includes the above, of course, but it also includes taking a plant out of one environment and placing it into another which is more conducive to production, growth, and stability. It came from an Arabic verb (a sister language) which meant to be mindful of, attentive to, and so it came to mean, keep, protect. When something delights us, we become preoccupied with it and we tend to protect and guard it. That brings forth its fruit in its season, 103:13; Matt.
