Psalm 1
The scripture talks of how blessed a person will be if they walk in the direction that God planned for them. It gives examples of what will happen to a blessed and obedient man. Then it talks about what will happen to someone who does not believe in God and does not follow God's commands. A blessed man yields great fruit, and is able to bless those around them. They are not wicked, but they are respected and prosperous. They are watched over by God, and they are given the ability to have a great life.
If we live an obedient life, we will also learn how to follow God in a full and righteous way. He will bless our decision to obey Him. There are many times in life when we are given a chioce to do one of two things. We can follow our peers, and get ourselves into trouble. Or we can follow God, and live a better life then we had before. It is a simple choice, and some of the benefits are outlined in Psalms 1. It can be a hard choice, but once it is made, it will be easy to follow.
God, help me to follow the righteous ways. Help me to live a life that is for You and for Your will. Don't let me stray from Your path or commands. I don't want to fall into the wicked. I want to live as You wish me to live. Amen.
