Psalm 1:7-1-6

1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with scoffers.

2 But they delight in doing everything the LORD wants; day and night they think about his law.

3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never wither, and in all they do, they prosper.

4 But this is not true of the wicked. They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.

5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.

6 For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction

(NLT)

 

It is Joy not to follow the wicked, sinners, scoffers or this world. All that they have to offer is temporary and lead to death. Their place has been determined, they are headed to destruction and they have no place among the godly in Christ.

But, the godly in Christ their delight is doing everything God wants them to do. They love his word and are in it day and night. They bear much fruit in its season and they prosper wherever they go and whatever they do for God is their life. The Lord watches over every step of those who have believed and trusted in Him.

Joy is to follow the Lord Jesus Christ wherever He takes you.
