SPIRITUAL GEMS: February 5-11, 2024, Psalms 1 to 4, Answers.
Let's look for hidden pearls (10 mins.)
Ps 1:4. Why does the Bible say that the wicked “are like chaff blown away by the wind”? (it-2 1085, 1086).
The analogy of chaff blown away by the wind in the Bible refers to the separation of the bad from the good, as in the ancient threshing process. Patricia stopped at useful grain from chaff, which was insignificant and undesirable. Similarly, Jehovah will eliminate the wicked and apostates, carrying them away as the wind carries away chaff, so that they do not contaminate or mix with the valuable grain of his people. The destruction of the wicked is compared to burning chaff, indicating complete purification. The Bible uses the metaphor of chaff blown away by the wind to describe the wicked as light, worthless, and undesirable.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
First of all, we must understand that it is Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ who establish who the evil ones are, since they see the heart, we only see the outward appearance, they are the judges. This text is illustrating how Jehovah cleanses his people or his organization. At this time this cleansing has not been completely carried out, but the Bible makes it clear that it will begin with the house of God as mentioned in 1 Peter 4:7. And finally in the great tribulation, The Kingdom of God will crush its enemies into particles so small that the wind will easily carry them away, like chaff.
This metaphor is based on the process of threshing cereals in ancient times, where the chaff, which is the inedible part, is separated from the grain by the action of the wind. The chaff, being light, was easily carried by the wind, while the valuable grain remained on the threshing floor. In a spiritual sense, the reference to the wicked as the chaff that is carried away by the wind, refers to the fact that the Kingdom of God will crush its enemies into particles so small that the wind will easily carry them away, like chaff.
Unusable chaff was usually collected and burned to prevent the wind from blowing it back and mixing with the grain piles. and mixed with the piles of grain. Similarly, Jesus Christ in the role of his thresher will gather the righteous represented by the wheat, but the chaff, or the wicked, will be burned with fire, illustrating the punishment that awaits them.
And this also applies to the apostates, it illustrates well how Jehovah is going to remove them from his people and put an end to the wicked and the nations that oppose him, this is the purpose of the Kingdom of God that crushes the enemies into such small details. that the wind takes them away.

However, Jehovah looks at our efforts and our glove. For him, our ministry is a success if we carry it out with diligence and love, regardless of people's reaction.
Psalm 1:3. This text also teaches us that just as a tree needs constant water to be healthy, a Christian needs to be constantly nourished by the word of God to stay strong spiritually. For this reason, we must not stop reading the Bible daily, attending meetings and having our family worship and personal study. Let us remember that now we must continue doing all this to maintain a close relationship with our God.
Psalm 1:2. It teaches us how important it is to enjoy spiritual food, just as we enjoy healthy food, when we understand how beneficial it is to eat fruits, vegetables and avoid processed or junk food, and the effect it has on our body, we see it as a necessity. This is the case with what we introduce into our minds through the senses, this motivates us to continue reading and studying the scriptures.
Psalm 1:1. In this verse we find another Pearl, which teaches us that if we reject the way of thinking of the wicked, we will not stop in the path of sinners. Thus, we will not go to the places they frequent, such as places of bad reputation or where immoral entertainment is offered. Regardless of whether we are tempted to follow this unbiblical behavior, because if that happens to us, we must pray to God asking Him to help us act in accordance with His word.
Psalm 1:2. This text teaches us that we should not allow a single day to go by without thinking about spiritual things as Matthew 4:4 teaches us.
Psalm 1:1. Another Pearl that we can find from this same text is that if we do not take these words seriously, we would run the risk of losing our faith and spirituality. In fact, it could go from bad to worse. It could all start if we allow ourselves to be influenced by the advice of the wicked and then strengthen our relationship with them. It is even possible that we may end up becoming mockers or apostates without faith or even atheists. Of course, there is a danger that their friendship will promote in us an irreverent attitude that will ruin our relationship with Jehovah God; we should never allow that to happen.

Hence, it is good that I do it in my personal study sessions and whenever possible.
Psalms 1:2. These two verses also show us that I will not find happiness in my life, just by not doing certain things. Rather, they teach me that to be truly happy I must delight in Jehovah's law. Besides, I have to do it day and night. That is, I must learn from the Bible and apply what I learn from it consistently and willingly, because that will make me happy.
Psalms 1:3. This verse shows that everyone who does the will of Jehovah will be successful. But not because everything will turn out the way we want, but because Jehovah will pay attention to our work and our efforts and above all, to the love with which we do things for him. From there, we will be successful because we have Jehovah's blessing and because we will be rewarded in due time.
Psalm 1:5 . This passage motivates us to live in integrity before Jehovah, instead of falling into a double life, pretending to be good in the eyes of others, but Jehovah is aware of everything, the reason why the wicked will not stand in state of approval before Jehovah and will not be counted among the righteous people, it is because the almighty knows the way of the righteous. He recognizes their course of life as an approved course and rewards them accordingly. Therefore, the way of the righteous remains forever, but that of the wicked will end or have an end.

This joy arises from the security of being focused on the Divine will.

This is something very serious, Jesus will not be playing, today rulers and people are being invited to leave the evil path and seek God.
