Psalm 1

The first psalm is among the most familiar and famous Psalms. It's commonly known as the Gateway Psalm. It is from this text that the remaining psalms flow. Psalm 1 is a practical psalm. It introduces us to earthly happiness and eternal joy. Psalm 1 provides practical instruction on how to feed our souls. It also provides a blunt warning if we choose life on our terms. The Psalms like Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes are called Wisdom books. But Psalm 1 is more than this a wisdom book. It's been called the father of all the wisdom psalms. Jerome, an early church father, called Psalm 1 "the preface of the Holy Spirit."
