1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psalm 1
Summary：
This week’s sermon underscores the essence of genuine leadership as delineated in God’s teachings. According to Scripture, a true leader is one who embodies obedience and selfless service. Leadership, as defined by the Scripture, transcends a mere focus on business affairs and personal gain, encompassing conduct in accordance with God’s principles within the professional sphere and everyday life. Submission, as articulated by God, stands as the sole yardstick for achievement, with numerous prominent figures in the Bible, irrespective of gender, relinquishing control to allow God to assume the role of ultimate decision-maker. We are urged to acknowledge that our family members and colleagues play a pivotal role in nurturing our development as godly leaders, even amid potential discomfort. The resurrection of Jesus signifies liberation from the shackles of sin and exhorts us to forsake self-imposed social standing and identities in order to humbly serve and adhere to God’s will within our families and workplaces.
