What Is a Blessed Person?
Are you a blessed person? According to God, to be blessed is to not take advice from ungodly sources, to not act as the ungodly act, and to not scoff at the things of God.
Additionally, a blessed person delights in the law of God. The Bible is not the blessed person’s obligation or daily ritual; rather, it is the thrill of his heart to be in the Word of God, to study it, to ponder it, and to live by it.
The promise is that this kind of true Christian, who delights in the law of God, will stay strong in difficult times. The effectiveness of his life will be real and everlasting, not withering when the difficulty arises. When the blessed person dies, she does not simply leave behind a legacy, but rather she heads toward the everlasting treasure of lives brought into the kingdom of God; she reaches Jesus and abides with the Savior forever.
The difference between a blessed life and a failed life is the Word of God. Jesus is the living Word, and the Bible is His written Word. Do you love Him? Do you love the Word? Do you crave to be near Him? Do you long to be in His Word? Most of all, are you living by the Word?

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.” – (Psalm 1:1-4)
