Psalm 1
1 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,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 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.

4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
[The believers] devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. - Acts 2:42 (NIV)
As my husband, Jerry, and I headed out on an early-morning bike ride, I noticed a broken spoke in my front wheel. I stopped and snapped it off the rim. “Don’t you think we should get that fixed?” Jerry asked. “One missing spoke won’t make a difference,” I declared. At first, it didn’t. For some time, the barely-noticeable wobble in the wheel had no effect on how the bicycle performed. After a few days, though, the wobble grew much worse. My husband was right in his concern; eventually I had to stop riding the bike because doing so posed a risk to my safety.
