THE TWO WAYS
Lesson Text—
Psalms 1; Mathew 7:24-27
Golden Text: The Lord knoweth the
way of the righteous, but the
way of the ungodly shall perish.
The Central Truth in the Lesson
The way God maps out for life in
His Book is the way that leads to
real happiness.
For the next seven lessons we
shall study the Psalms. The study of
these Psalms should bring to us a
Jeep sense of devotion. In order that
we may get the most benefit from
this devotion there must be a prepa
ration. The best way to study the
Psalms is to look at the book as a
whole. The book of Psalms consists
of 150 religious songs. The time of
the writings are unknown so far as
all of them are concerned. The au
thorship of some of them is attribut
ed to Moses. However, this cannot
he accurately ascertained. A large
part of them was written by David.
To say the least of it the whole hook
covers a long space of time. As we
have the book today it is divided into
five books. There are seventy-three
chapters ascribed to David and these
are mostly in the first two books
Psalms 1-72. We are told in the 72nd
chapter, 20th verse, “The progress of
the son of Jesse are ended.” This
would indicate that at one time a
collection Davidic Psalms ended with
the 72nd chapter. When and by whom
the present book was completed is
unknown to us. We know that the
completion of it was some time after
the return of the exiles. This beauti
ful Psalm that we have for our con
sideration today and which does not
even have a title might have been
intended by the final editor to have
been an introduction. To say the
least of it it well serves the purpose
of an introduction.
The Plan of the Righteous
In the first Psalm we have a very
beautiful and sublime picture of the
righteous man. The very first words
tell us that he is a happy man. It is
a noticeable fact in the world that a
good person is usually a happy per
son. Why is this a fact? It is because
they have a source of happiness that
the world knows nothing about. The
good man has a fountain of happi
ness at hand that he can always tap
and it will give forth a cooling
stream of happiness. Fellowship with
God is always a sure plan for hap
piness. It is a source of strength and
assurance when the trials and adver
sities of life beat us upon the high
way of life. It makes work less hard
and burdens lighter.
The righteous man does not make
ungodly men his companions. The
righteous man does not place himsell
in the way of temptation by sitting
in the seat of scoffers or standing in
the way of sinners. He does not
even follow the advice of the ungod
ly. He lives upon a different and
higher plane. He has different desires
and aspirations. Any counsel that he
may need he finds in the Bible. He
will ask for advice and confer with
godly people. He finds delight in
studying the Bible and pondering
over its wonderful truths and prom
ises. As he reads his Bible he thinks
over it. If we are to make the most
of our reading of the Bible it must
be done prayerfully. A delight in
reading the Bible is one of the great
est proofs of a religious experience.
If we are not in sympathy and har
mony with the Bible we will not en
joy reading it.
We are told that a righteous man

a green tree by an oasis in a desert.
It owes its lift to the water in the
oasis. This life-giving water is illus
trative of the power of the word ot
God over a man. It makes him to
grow and flourish as does the tree
fed by the oasis. In the case of the
tree the water permeates the soil to
the very last root of the tree mak
ing it produce luxurious leaves and
fruit. The same thing holds good
with a man; the power of God
makes him grow and expand into a.
beautiful and valuable life amid a
desert of sin.
Another beautiful thing about the
righteous man is that with the pass
ing of the years the gospel story
grows sweeter and sweeter. There is
no deterioration of it with age. Those
whose heads are silvered with the
passing of many years are still happy
in the knowledge they have gained
from communion with God through
the Holy writ.
The Way of the Ungodly
There is a comparison in our les
son today of the ungodly man with
the righteous man. It is a natural
consequence that an ungodly man
does not delight in God's ways and
we in studying his word. Also his as
sociates are likely to he like himself.
He is life chaff as regards to the
effects and consequences of his life.
It is worthless so far as the benefits
of a righteous man is concerned
while the righteous is like the ma
tured fruit that is useful for the
feeding of the nations. Chaff is worth
less. It is fit ffo nothing hut to be
burned. The matured fruit is for
sustaining life. The fruit was once
surrounded by the chaff which in the
human life is representative of sin,
but when that life is ready to use it
must discard the sin about it, and
become freed from this drawback ot
sin. We can not use grain without
first removing it from the chaff. For
grain we have machines to separate
the worthless chaff from the life-
giving brain. To separate a life from
the chcaff of sin the power of God is
an effecient. machine or the separation
This power can always be made use
of. It is always attuned and ready
for use if we will but avail ourselves
of the privilege of using it. When
the righteous man loses his wealth
and things of this wor-ld he has the
favor of God and riches unspeakable
in heaven.
On the other hand when the ungod
ly man loses his earthly possessions
and is ready to leave this world what
has he left? Even if he is successful
in his worldly ambitions there is
nothing fasting about them. Man's
physical being will fail and finally
our mortal remains will be lowered
into mother earth. A tombstone may
for a time keep his memory from
vanishing but what has he to show
for his earthly sojourn? We are
told “the way of the ungodly shall
perish.” We have a path through the
woods and fields and when not used
it will disappear. This path when ob
scured by non use will bewilder one
Who tries to follow it. The same way
with the path of the wicked; in the
end it will lead to death and destruc
tion. Surely the path of sin is one
that aprudent person will avoid at all
times.
No Restraint
Do we ever stop to check up on
curselves? Not the man that the peo
ple see or the church knows, but upon
your real self. Not all young people
are reckless, but it is characteristic
for many of them to be reckless. That
we must have experience is an at
titude adopted by many. 'Such ex
perience is never profitable. We may
get a thrill for a season but in the
end it will take more than it gives.
Where Is Happiness
There are but few people who find
within themselves a true sourse ot
joy. We must usually pay for our en
tertainers and many times great is
the cost. Real pleasure comes from
within. He that is richly supplied
from within needs but little from
without.
