Life Is Colorful

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by stream of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does 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 will perish.

Life is Colorful

There must be more to life than good and evil,
people are not that simple.
We see more colors than black and white,
therefore people must be more than that too.
We should stop forcing people to say they are one or the other.

Not everyone can see a list of rules and delight in it.
Some people used to yield fruit but have forgotten how.
If this means they are evil,
then hell must be one crowded place.

But can’t chaff that blows in the wind
land on the right side again one day?
The things we do, the choices we make are not permanent.
Life is colorful.
People life differently from one day to the next,
and who should judge them if they stray for a day or two?
