Ps 1 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."
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers."
The Psalms teach that men are born to redefine Gods word. The Psalm is
not teaching that we should avoid men who are wicked. It is teaching
that we must mediate with the tools of Gods counsel. Gods counsel is His
perfect word that creates all things. Everything that is in this world
is speaking Gods counsel. God created everything according to His law,
covenants, decrees, curses and statutes. The Psalms are a book of
counsel in which through the pronouncements we receive illumination and
wisdom. This is why the Psalmist puts meditation up against mans
counsel. You will find that the Psalmist talks about receiving
illumination when meditates day and night. This illumination is what he
describes as Gods counsel.
The process is walking , standing , and sitting. Every man who redefines Gods word is doing a violent act against other men. This process is how a person gets into abusive relationships. When anybody speaks they are giving counsel in some form. The danger is that they do not think thoughts after God. All men are in danger of having imaginations that complicate life. The natural man thinks thoughts that are grandiose or on the other hand limits power of other men. The apostle says that every man has the disease of blaming other men while excusing themselves. We were made to reflect the glory of God by being united with His purposes which unites our gifts with our experience in this world. Every person who is born in sin is imaging themselves to be someone who they are not. So every person prevents the other person from experiencing their full potential. The warning in this verse is to avoid the redefining of Gods word and thus be under the threat of the wicked man. The threat is to walk in their way, standing is to believe they are correct and sitting is to be completely overcome.
