Blessed - Think on This!

Blessed!
Psalm 1:1-6 MSG
(1) How well God must like you - you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.

(4) You're not at all like the wicked, who are mere windblown dust--
(5) Without defense in court, unfit company for innocent people.
(6) GOD charts the road you take. The road they take is Skid Row.
