The book of Psalms begins with a beautiful poem of blessing for those who love God. The love of God is revealed in the rejection of sin and the dedication to obey his commandments. God does not forget who behaves like that.

The security of the just

The truth is that, if we pay attention, we can see that we are surrounded by situations that invite us to sin. It is very easy to get carried away by the current and commit the same sins as others when we see that everyone is on the same path. But it is important to remember that sin does not bring happiness.

Psalm 1 teaches us that we achieve true happiness when we obey God. We find security when the word of God is our source of satisfaction. The Bible compares the person who is faithful to God with a tree planted in an ideal place. It is a tree that bears fruit and does not wither. In the same way, when you follow God you will see good fruits in your life and you will receive blessing.

God makes the righteous prosper. This does not mean that you will be rich if you serve God. Prosperity means that you have the care of God, that he is responsible for meeting your needs and that you will receive spiritual blessings such as joy and peace.

The justice of God

Psalm 1 also shows us that God is just with us. Sometimes it may seem that nothing happens to the wicked, but that is not reality. The wicked do not last for a long time. God offers his forgiveness and blessings to the one who repents, and does not leave without punishment those who love sin. Sin always brings punishment. The blessings we receive in obeying God are much greater than the transitory advantages of sin.

Be faithful to God and you will receive his blessings in your life!
