A BLESSED MAN OR WOMAN

A BLESSED MAN OR WOMAN

In an age where “blessings” are defined in largely material terms, the Word of God speaks quite clearly to us:

Psalm 1 (NKJV)

1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    Nor stands in the path of sinners,
    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
² But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    And in His law he meditates day and night.
³ He shall be like a tree
    Planted by the rivers of water,
    That brings forth its fruit in its season,
    Whose leaf also shall not wither;
    And whatever he does shall prosper.

⁴ The ungodly are not so,
    But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
⁵ Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
    Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

⁶ For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
    But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 15 (NKJV)

¹  Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?
    Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

² He who walks uprightly,
    And works righteousness,
    And speaks the truth in his heart;
³ He who does not backbite with his tongue,
    Nor does evil to his neighbor,
    Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
⁴ In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
    But he honors those who fear the Lord;
    He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
⁵ He who does not put out his money at usury,
    Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

    He who does these things shall never be moved.

Question: As biblically defined, are you and I blessed?
