The Blessed Man, Introduction
Psalms 1
PRAY I encourage you to please seek God’s face before starting any Bible study.
Psalm 1:1-6 (NKJV)
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, (the word of God) 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. NKJV
THE HEBREW HYMNBOOK begins with two according to John Phillips “orphan” psalms, that is, with two psalms the authors of which are not given. During the entire Old Testament period, like its companion it stood fatherless on the sacred page. There it is, Psalms 1 without author or inscription, owning no stated author but God.
The book of Psalms is most blessed book the key verse the book of Psalms is found in Psalms 29:2
Ps 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. KJV Expound….
The Psalms are quoted more often in the New Testament than in any of the books in the Old Testament

You must get to know your weapon.
I had a young man who worked for me years ago, and we were talking about guns, he said he had a 30-30 Marlin with a 3X9 scope on it and wanted to sell it. I said how much? His reply was $125.00 and I said sold! He said you haven’t seen it yet, and I said sold, I want it.
So, the next day he came in with the weapon, and it was levered open and had a round jammed in the chamber. He was smiling, I gave him the money and he handed me the 30-30. I then took one screw out of the end of the magazine tube, and pulled the spring out, releasing the pressure off the round and I just fell out. I pushed the spring back in and tighten the screw up worked the action and the rest of the ammo fell out. The weapon worked great. The guy then said he needed more money, I laughed and said, NO a deal is a deal. He said how did I know how to fix it so fast?
And here it is, I said You Have To Know Your Weapon! The same goes for the Bible. It is our weapon!
Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Here is a little Breakdown of the Bible and How Jesus is in every Book!

REVELATION 19:11-16
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS
