Psalm one is a contrast between the godly and the ungodly, the believer and the unbeliever, the Christian and the unchristian. If you are a child of God, you should love His word. It should bring you delight to study and meditate on the holy scriptures. We should also hate sin and the destruction it causes. The believer in Jesus Christ will be like a tree: planted, deeply rooted and fruit bearing but the unbeliever is like chaff, which is the thin husk that comes off of the wheat. Chaff has no weight or substance to hold it in place, it is subject to any wind, even a gentle breeze. Chaff gets blown around from place to place. It goes wherever the wind blows.
I learned something the other day. Deer love acorns and we have a yard filled with acorns. I’ve never seen so many acorns as we have this year. My neighbor and friend Ronnie Shipley grinds the acorns and makes meal. The deer love acorn mill. David said in Psalm 147…

- CONFESSION: I did something stupid yesterday {imagine that}. I was mulching leaves and I took off my $300 eye glasses and put on a pair of safety glasses and I put my regular glasses in my shirt pocket. Long story short, I mulched my glasses. It turned out to be a $500 mistake. My new ones have a progressive lens and it will take a while to adjust.
