Finding True Happiness in God’s Word

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly… but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. 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.

Psalm 1:1–3

• The Bible is a source of wisdom and guidance.
• Ungodly counsel can lead to short-term gains but long-term pain.
• Meditating on God’s Word brings blessings and peace.
• Trust in God’s provision and avoid relying on worldly solutions.
• Choose to walk in the light of God’s Word.

Today, let’s unpack a powerful verse from Psalm 1: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.”

Now, this doesn’t mean there’s never wisdom to be found outside of faith. But true blessedness, that deep sense of fulfillment and joy, comes from following God’s path. The “ungodly” represent fleeting worldly advice that might seem tempting in the short term, but ultimately leads us astray. It’s like following a flickering candle in the dark, promising a quick escape from the woods, only to find yourself in a tangled mess of thorns.

The verse goes on to say, “his delight is in the Word of God, which is the person of Jesus!” Isn’t that incredible? The Bible isn’t just a dusty collection of stories; it’s a living conversation with Jesus himself. When we find delight in reading and meditating on His Word, we’re aligning ourselves with the source of all true happiness.

Imagine two paths. One is shrouded in darkness, filled with twists and turns that promise shortcuts but often end in debt traps and a sense of emptiness. This is the path of “ungodly counsel,” the fleeting promises of the world that leave us longing for something more.

But Jesus, through His Word, leads us to a different path entirely. It’s a sun-drenched path leading to a vibrant garden, overflowing with life and abundance. As we walk with Him, we discover true provision, not just for our physical needs, but for the deepest longings of our hearts.
