1:1-6 Everyday Choices We all must choose whether to “follow the advice of the wicked” (1:1) or “delight in the law of the LORD” (1:2). One leads to spiritual decay and destruction while the other yields growth in faith and maturity. These choices are not dependent so much on our ability as on our reliance on Jesus Christ, who empowers us to spend time in prayer and in God’s Word, and also to resist temptation, share our faith, and serve others.
