Psalm 1 is the personal mission of every Christian
Gregory Bishop
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: Psalm 1 is the personal mission of every man and woman of God who wants to finish their career with success and glory. The psalm states that blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of evil, nor is in the way of sinners, nor has sat in the seat of mockers. To be a blessed man or woman, we have to say no to certain things and certain attitudes. Instead, we should delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on it day and night, for the word of God has power and is the key to the Christian life. Reading the Bible is like having an encounter with an electrical power of the Holy Spirit, and the words are like seeds that have the power to transform us.
The Bible is an inspired book that has the power to transform us. It is an acquired taste and requires us to meditate on the word of God, filling our minds with it rather than emptying it. Satan tells us we can't memorize verses, but we can. Meditating on the word can transform us, making us strong and immovable. Let us be a people deeply rooted in the word of God, transformed by its power.

Psalm 1. Some people here know someone who you think, wow, I want to be like him or her, especially someone of legal age, maybe over 75, 80 years old, who is serving the Lord and you say, wow, when I grow up I want to be like that person. Well, Psalm 1 is the personal mission of every man and woman of God who comes to finish his career with success and glory.
This week I had the sacred privilege of celebrating and I use the word celebrating on purpose, the funeral of my wife's grandmother who is like a Japanese Toñita, I say it like that. A servant of the Lord who married her Japanese teacher at 17 and remained faithful for 70 years. He died at 90, around there. She was a servant of the Lord from her youth. During the second world war he had to go to jail, to camps that they made for all Japanese Americans, just because you are Japanese you had to go to a camp, a jail and be there, just because you look like our enemy. It doesn't matter that you were born here. They spent three years there and she came out more Christian than ever. She had two of her babies there, and she says, I like the camp. Camp is two babies free, all food free, I don't have to cook. I'd like to go back to camp, trying to trick the kids. The Lord is faithful to me, I am not afraid of camps.
