Sunday we'll be looking at the Wisdom psalm found in Psalm 1. The Psalm begins with How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked . . . The word blessed carries the idea of joy and happiness and as I continue to prepare for worship Sunday, the following video keeps coming to my mind. I know nothing of the comedian in the video (I know a little about Conan O'Brien), but even the secular world hits the nail on the head.
Everything is awesome, but nobody is happy. So true. This out to be a reminder of our tail-chasing ways. We keep looking for lasting joy and happiness but few of us ever find it. But as Psalm 1;1-2 suggests, How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
