Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV)
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in
the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the
law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree
planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf
does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

their flesh.

"Because he loves me," says the LORD , "I will rescue him; I

And so, my children, listen to me, for happy are all who follow my ways.
Listen to my counsel and be wise. Don't ignore it. Happy are those who listen
to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home! For
whoever finds me finds life and wins approval from the LORD.
PRODUCTIVITY
(FRUITFULNESS).
Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV)
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in
the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the
law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree
planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose
leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
PLAIN
PATHS (DIVINE DIRECTION).
Proverbs 6:20-23 (NLT)
My son, obey your father's commands, and don't neglect your mother's teaching.
Keep their words always in your heart. Tie them around your neck. Wherever you
walk, their counsel can lead you. When you sleep, they will protect
you. When you wake up in the morning, they will advise you. For these
commands and this teaching are a lamp to light the way ahead of you.
The correction of discipline is the way to life.
Proverbs 2:6-11 (NIV)
For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and
understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to
those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and
protects the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is
right and just and fair--every good path. For wisdom will enter your
heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect
you,
and understanding will guard you.
Psalm 119:105 (NKJV)
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
IN CONCLUSION….
Proverbs
3
13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
those who lay hold of her will be blessed.
(NIV)
