Psalm 1: They are like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whole leaf does not wither - whatever they do prosper.
The Lord blesses those who choose to delight in the Law of the Lord and choose to meditate on His law day and night. This person ~ establishing his/her foundation in the Lord, choosing to be soaked in God's word and choosing to be delighted with this choice. Clearly, the joy of the Lord is upon Him. He who hungers the word of the Lord shall be fed and be blessed. The word of God is like the stream of water, for from God flows the spring of life. When we choose to meditate on God's word, we get soaked, so wet with God's word that we will never ger dry! Jesus is the water of life. If/ When we choose to drink from Him, we shall never be thirsty! And God will bless that person by:
- not getting thirsty ever
- propser that person's life (financially, spiritually, in all aspect). Actually, prosper because spiritually God has filled us.
Chaff - straw/ hay cut up finely
Another definition: worthless matter; refuse.
So the wicked are like a worthless matter; to be thrown away, blown away - that's why they would not even be before the Lord. They have been thrown out already! God says: "But the ways of the wicked will be destroyed..."
