Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not whither - whatever they do prospers. - Psalm 1:1-3

Commentary: In a world that rejects the instructions of absolute truth, which is found in GOD's law, it is encouraging to know that it is blessing to be refreshed like a tree planted by the water when His instructions are followed. Those that stray from his instructions - whether by a lack of integrity, vengeful actions or a lifestyle displeasing to GOD, to name a few - may prosper in an earthly sense, they will miss out on GOD's heavenly prosperity.
