A Person Who Is Not Blessed
(Ps. 1:1~6)

Blessings follow people. God brought Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldeans, made him as the source of blessings, and said all peoples on earth will be blessed through him. The Bible says that those who believe are children of Abraham. (Gal. 3:7) Therefore, anyone who believes in Jesus will receive the blessing of Abraham. The more believers of Jesus there are, the more blessings of Abraham will overflow on earth.

1. Not blessed is the one who followed the wicked
1) The devil is the source of evil. If we follow the devil, we will become the people of denying and hating God and build the tower of Babel that runs counter to the will of God. (Gen. 11:4)
2) Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life.” (John 10:10)

2. Not blessed is the one who stands in the sway of sinners
1) Sin is violating the law that God has given us. (Rom. 7:7~8)
2) God has given us the Ten Commandments and other various laws. (Exod. 20:3~17)
3) Since Adam, all human beings are born and live as slaves of sin. (John 8:34)

3. Not blessed is the one who sits in the seat of mockers
1) Having pride that attempts to be equal to God will not bring blessings. (Isa. 14:13~14)
2) A heart of overestimating yourself will not bring blessings. (Ps.31:23)
3) An arrogant attitude of ignoring neighbors will not bring blessings. (Luke 18:9~14)

4. Have dreams with a goal
When we move forward by carrying dreams with a goal, we will receive blessings given by God. (Rom. 4:18)

5. Live in faith
If we do not live in faith but live based on human-centrism, we will think and speak negatively. We should not be shaken by our circumstances and must look only to the Lord and live in faith. (Num. 13:32~33)

Conclusion
A blessed person prospers wherever he goes and a person who is not blessed always fails. As blessings are given by God, we must look to, dream of, and declare in faith for a life of blessings. In addition, we must always be joyful and give thanks to God for allowing a life of blessings.
