  5. DO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY???

  6. [1] Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; [2] but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. [3] He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

  7. [4] The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. [5] Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; [6] for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. (Psalm 1 ESV)

  8. Prayer and the Word are connected in such a way that if you disconnect them, both die. John Piper • But now who is this happy person?

  9. Without the work of Christ on our behalf meditating on the Law will crush us. • The law can expose and diagnose our hearts, but it can’t heal them. • “ ‘Don’t covet’ for me in Christ is not a condemning command, but it’s a wooing command into joy.”

  10. WHY MEMORIZE & MEDITATE ON SCRIPTURE? • Because it the best way to feed on Christ • It is the food for transformation and growth • It is the on ramp to a life of happiness • It is the food of faith • It is a lamp to our feet • It is like honey to our souls. • It is how we become like solidfruitful trees

  11. Jesus is the BLESSED/ HAPPY man who delighted in the Word and meditated on it day and • night.
