How do you know what your priorities really are? That’s not a trick question, and in many ways the trials and afflictions of this last year have revealed where our priorities are truly found, but I wonder if we’re quick to say something is priority when in fact it doesn’t show up in our lives as a priority.
This weekend, we are pausing our series in the Parables of Luke to begin our summer series in the Book of Psalms. It’s a little out of order, but don’t worry, we’re going to wrap up our Parables series next week and pick back up on the Psalms the week after.
This series that we’ve titled, “Assembly Required,” in the Psalms, will reinforce our conviction that when we come to worship together as God’s people, we will take pleasure in the Word of God. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the building or online, we will “praise the Lord” until we are out of breath.
That brings us to our passage today: Psalm 1. Here’s what I’m going to do today. We’re going to use Psalm 1 to determine whether our lives rightfully reflect our beliefs. If you didn’t get that, it’s just a low key way of saying that this Psalm will confront us about how we actually practice our faith and whether our practice is true. I hope, and I’ve prayed, that God will use what he’s teaching me in this Psalm to color your perspective of your activities as well.
