The passage in Isaiah varies as it is a precursor to a messianic promise. The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (TWOT), by Gleason L. He is blessed because he runs from sin and strives to live a good life. The passage on Psalm one described man walking with the Lord on this earth. Though it is towards the end of the passage, the meaning is similar but with a subtle difference. That passage of scripture states, “for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him”. In Isaiah 30:18b the word is used at the end of the passage. The same goes for the passage from 2 Chronicles as the inspired writer exclaims happiness about those who want to hear the wisdom of God. In Psalm 1:1 the psalmist exclaims “Oh, the happiness” of one whom does not do these things. īoth passages are projecting strong emotion. It is once again used at the beginning of the passage and denotes one being full of happiness. One of the instanced where an inspired writer uses it the same way is this Psalm is in 2 Chronicles 9:7.

They need to repent of their bad behavior, make amends, and seek God for the refilling of His Holy Spirit. If a professing Christian behaves like an unbeliever, they are carnal and need correction.
Nobody is more spiritual than they are Christ-like.
Perhaps it’s time to ask the congregation, How do you treat one another? Do you make fun of your fellow brothers and sisters? Are you critical of things that don’t amount to anything? Do you judge people by their speech or their appearance? Do you judge them by how wealthy or poor they are? Are you critical of others when you should be having compassion for them? Or, more pointedly, Are you sitting in the seat of the scornful? A person could be going through hard times and don’t need criticism. We should never judge people as described in this article.
