Psalm 1, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #235: HELPING TEACHER

*Yesterday, I finished my study of the New Testament! (Well I guess I shouldn't say finished, since there is still alot more for me to soak in even though I finished reading through it.) I'm not sure what my QT plan is going to be for the next few months but for now, I'm going to start in Psalms and try to work my way through the Old Testament :) Yay

MEMORY VERSE: "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." Colossians 3:13

NOTES: Since it's a pretty short passage, I'll just paste the whole thing here:
1 Blessed is the one
   who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
   or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,
   and who meditates on his law day and night. 

3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, 
   which yields its fruit in season 

and whose leaf does not wither—
   whatever they do prospers.

 4 Not so the wicked!
   They are like chaff
   that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
   nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

 6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
   but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

What stuck out to me was v.2: "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night." Do I delight in the law of the Lord? Not just the mountain-top retreat highs, or the crazy fun fellowship activities, or the rejuvenating Friday-night worship; do I delight in reading God's word and obeying his commands? Do I meditate on it "day and night"? 
Am I like "a tree planted by streams of water, which yields fruit in season"? What does being fruitful look like? 


ACT OF LOVE: Today during 1st period, I helped my teacher hand back a huge stack of papers that needed to be returned. I didn't do it out of an underlying motive to suck up or anything, because I'm normally not the type of person who participates extensively in class heh. But today, I handed back a stack of papers to my classmates in love!
