The Ungodly Life
A key observation in Psalm 1:4-6 is contrast. Don't miss the many things that are quite the opposite from the preceding verses. "The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away."

Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
An Uncompromising Walk
I am impressed that we shall be something rather than do something as a result of delighting in and meditating on God's Word.
The Godly Life
In the first three verses of Psalm 1, the psalmist describes the one who chooses to live a righteous life, the one who consciously resists the subtle inroads of compromise.
Compromise and Erosion
The First Psalm is brief and simple, direct and profound. Even a casual reading of these six verses leads us to see that it is filled with contrasts between two different walks of life—the godly and the ungodly.
Looking at the Big Picture...and Finding Hope, Part 2
In my 50 years of ministry, I have never been more committed than I am today to pointing our generation to the Word of God.

Courage Transfusion, Part Two
In spite of our adversary's subtle and deceitful strategy against Christians, we are certain of this: In the end, God wins. What we need until then is a courage transfusion.
Courage Transfusion, Part One
Be aware of the bait that's being dangled before you that causes you to yield a little more in an area of weakness. Be alert to the fact that there is an enemy against you. When your day starts, apply EWO—Eyes Wide Open.
Marching Orders, Part Two
We face a very real, insidious enemy. And, as I mentioned yesterday, in order to step intelligently and wisely into the battle with Satan and his demons, we need clear marching orders. God has given them to us in the pages of Scripture.
