Delight (Psa. 1:1-6)

Direction of delight.  You do delight in someone or something.  That delight is manifested in wickedness (1:1) or righteousness (1:2).

Determination of delight.  What you delight in consumes your thinking (1:2).  Evaluate your thinking and you'll discover your delight.  What consumes you?

Destination of delight.  What consumes your thinking, and thus affects your choices, starts a pursuit.  The pursuit will lead to the fruit of righteousness (1:3) or to chaff (1:4).  Chaff is the light, temporary, unimpressive and disappointing result of unrighteousness.

Division of delights.  There will be a final separation of the wicked from among the righteous (1:5-6).  Life does not end at the grave!  Where you spend eternity is a matter of your delight and how that delight affects your decisions.  Surrender to Jesus Christ and delight yourself in Him.
