The old western movie comes on TV. In walks the good guy. He wears a white hat and rides a white horse. He smiles and waves and the town loves him. Down the street, a man rides in on a black horse. His clothes are dark and his hat is black. He scowls and sneers while the people drop their eyes and move out of the way. He is the bad guy. In the first ten minutes of the movie you get to choose. Good or bad? There is no way to miss who is who. That’s the way that the Psalms read to me in the beginning. Psalm 1 opens with a scene. The good guys are the righteous. You can tell who they are because the righteous do not listen to the counsel of the wicked. The righteous does not spend a life scoffing at others. The righteous meditate on the words of God and their lives are marked by fruit that points to a relationship with Him. The wicked are different. They won’t stand with the godly. The Psalms start out by giving us a choice. Who do you want to be? Righteous or wicked? Good guy or bad?
