Psalms 1 - a lesson in finding wisdom and advice in others

For this week, I decided to take a slight detour and explore a chapter in the Book of Psalms.  Psalms 1, to be exact.  I'll be doing this on occasion, taking this detour from our regular explorations, as the Holy Bible is so full of wisdom that it would've literally taken me a few years to get to it at the pace I'm currently writing.

I've always loved Psalms 1.

It starts by saying: "Happy are those who reject the advice of evil men, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no use for God."

Then it goes on by saying that by following God is like being a tree that grows next to a river.  It never dries up and bears fruit at the right time.

Meaning, if you follow God's Plan, you'll become prosperous.  You'll be giving abundance from Him.

This could be taken a step further by saying to stay away from negative people, for they'll do nothing but bog you down and keep you from succeeding.
