- 2. Describe the better choice, seen in v2.
- - Instead of spending time with the wrong people, we are supposed to try and spend time getting to know God better!
- - - We should try to 'spend time with God' through knowing His Word more.
- - - Just like how we become like the people we spend most our time around, we will also become more like God if we spend most of our time trying to get to know Him better!
- - We are to delight in the Law (Word) of God:
- - - We should want and enjoy (and try to enjoy more) hearing from God in the Bible
- - We are to meditate on this Law:
- - - Consider what it means and how it applies to us (our thoughts, attitudes, actions, words, relationships, etc...)
- - We are to do this ‘day & night’-- all the time! (it isn't isn't just something to do on Sundays or in Bible class)

- - Various answers could be given (e.g. going to church, talking about the Bible with friends, joining youth group or a Bible study, reading the Bible daily, Trying to memorize Bible verses, etc...)
- - The result is that you're 'like a tree planted by streams of water...", you "prosper"
- - - You are nourished by God's Word & it gives many amazing benefits ('fruits') in your life!
- - - You prosper, not necessarily physically (e.g. money), but more so with things that matter much more--your character, your relationship with God, the impact you make on others, etc...
- - - - You become more like God & make a better influence on those around you!
