Psalm 1 and Titus 1 have this in common,  both talk about the righteous in contrast with the wicked.

Psalm 1 tells us that the righteous man:
Does not listen or follow the counsel of the wicked.
Does not follow the way of the ungodly.
Does not join in with the scoffers.
But, does delight in God's word,
Does meditate on the Word day and night.
Is fruitful, flourishing, and prosperous.

The wicked, in contrast, are:
Useless like chaff in the wind.
Unable to stand in the judgement.
Unable to sit with the righteous.
Perishing.


Paul, writing to Titus, describes the qualities of those who can be leaders in the church... the righteous:

A good husband and father.
Above reproach.
Not self-willed.
Not quick tempered.
Not addicted to wine.
Not quarrelsome,
Not greedy.
".. hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word... able both to exhort in sound doctrine and refute those who contradict."

The wicked are:  "rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers... "  They turn away from the truth.  And they are defiled, " both their mind and their conscience are defiled. They profess to know God but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed."

Those who delight in God's Word and have come to the knowledge of the Truth and who live according to all the God has revealed.. will flourish and bear fruit.   But, all who refuse to hold to the revealed Word of God, the Truth,  will be empty, defiled and without worth.. like chaff.

Father in heaven,  You are the God of peace and of hope.  We look to You and delight in Your word.  We want to truly know You and live a flourishing life the brings glory to Your Name.  Our Savior and Lord, we place our hope and faith in You alone, to accomplish all of Your perfect will in us.  Make us pure in heart and sound in doctrine.  Help us to bring the message of reconciliation to those who are walking in the wrong paths, that they too may be freed from the dominion of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of Your Beloved Son, Christ Jesus.  For we pray this in His name. Amen.
