There is no “middle road” in the life of faith. Our path cannot split the difference between God and the world. Either we are walking the path of wisdom or the path of wickedness. So what does it look like to follow the path of wisdom? Is it just a matter of being better? Of doing better? Psalm 1 paints the picture of a life rooted and delighting in God and his word. It is in this delight that we find the first steps along the path of wisdom, but the best news may be that ultimately we can’t do it at all.
