Block Out Bad Influences
Psalm 1:1 NIV
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers…

Don’t Take Ungodly Positions
Don’t Engage Ungodly Conversation
Dig In to God’s Truth
Psalm 1:2-3a NIV
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water…
Be Delighted Not Just Disciplined
Be Thoughtful Not Just Knowledgable
Be Nourished Not Just Fed
Flourish
Psalm 1:3 NIV
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

Durable
Prosperous
When David wrote this I really think that he was picturing a cypress tree.
Some of the oldest living trees, 800-1,200 years…2015 2,600
Naturally resistant to rot and decay
Roots go down as deep as the tree goes tall…hurricane
Mature eagles nest in the branches, seeds feed squirrels, turkeys, wood ducks, cranes, all sorts of waterfowl, and deer
