Psalm 1

Verses 1-3...

Blessed is the man 

   who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, 
nor stands in the way of sinners,
   nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 
but his delight is in the law of the LORD, 
   and on His law he meditates day and night. 
He is like a tree 
   planted by streams of water 
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its leaf does not wither. 
In all that he does, he prospers.


And thus I reach the end of what ended up being more of a drawn-out series than I anticipated. Countdown of the 150 psalms over the course of 2.5 years... 

On 3/11/13, I wrote to "my dear one":
I know of several couples who have read through the 150 psalms backwards as a countdown as they anticipate their wedding. But what if I used the psalms as a countdown right now, starting with Psalm 150 and believing that the Lord would bring you into my life before I reach Psalm 1?

Well, here I am, having finally reached Psalm 1 -- wondering when I'll meet you, my dear one. In my prayers I continue to hope, but still find no answers from the Lord.

The Lord bless you and keep you! 
Ever hoping, 
Your Evenstar
