The “Game of Life”
Psalm 1
LIFE
Some will play the game of life wisely as
they were created to play.
Others will play the game of life foolishly,
trying to cheat.
“Game” Directions: Psalm 1
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. Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the
righteous. For the LORD watches over the way of
the righteous, but the way of the wicked will
perish.
Be Aware…
1. Not everyone agrees that these are the
directions for the game.
Ps 14:1 The fool says in his heart, "There is
no God.“ They are corrupt, their deeds are
vile; there is no one who does good.
Be Aware…
2. These directions are completed in Christ.
Luke 4:21
"Today this scripture is fulfilled in your
hearing."
