Invitation to come out of the busy-ness

Learn to pray the prayer of the Plasm

Ps 1 is the keynote

1. Decide to separate our mind from the world
V.1 wicked, sinners and mockers.
New definitions on what these terms mean:
Wicked-loose with the morals & standards
Sinner-deliberately choose a way of their own
Mockers-ridicule and living it different; speech and action do not tally

Gal 6:8

Three actions and their corresponding meaning:
Walk-go about everyday life
Stand-commitment
Sit-attitude


2. Delight to saturate our spirit with the Word
V.2-3 meditates
The natural man is bound to 5 senses
But the spiritual man needs the Word and Holy Spirit

Romans 8:14
Q: who leads you?

Rev 2:4-5 forgotten your first love
Remember -> Repent -> Return

V.3 we don't do this, but God brought this about such that we are connected to God again.

Jer 17:7-8 there will be heat, drought

Psalmist always end with affirmation b'cos they see God.
