Psalm 1 is one of my favorites because it shows the importance of God's Word. Dedication and constant study of the Bible reaps a confidence in God from knowing Him and because you know Him you can trust Him. Not only are you secure in your faith but your life produces fruit like in Galatians 5. It takes work though but it is worth it.
1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.
In Isaiah 66:2 we see what the Lord thinks of those who love His word. It is attractive to Him:
"But to this one I will look,
To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word"
See Psalm 119 its176 verses all about God's word!
