017 - The Pursuit of Happiness: Psalm 1

What does it take for a man to be truly happy? Psalm 1 is all about what it looks like for a man to be happy and what it looks like for a man to be unhappy. In this episode, we walk through this short chapter, explain what it means, and then apply it to our everyday life.

Here's the Psalm:

'How happy is the one who does not walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners or sit in the company of mockers! Instead, his delight is in the Lord ’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. The wicked are not like this; instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand up 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 leads to ruin.'

Psalm 1:1-6
