Episode Summary
In this episode of Lifespring! One Year Bible Rewind, Steve Webb reads Psalms 1 and 2 from the King James Version, sharing insights on what it means to walk in the counsel of the godly, delight in God’s law, and trust in the King set upon Zion’s hill. These opening Psalms introduce us to two paths—the blessed life of faith and the futile rebellion of the proud.
Today’s Reading
Psalms 1 and 2 (King James Version)

Commentary
The Psalms begin with a powerful invitation: to delight in the Word of God. Those who meditate on His law day and night are compared to trees planted by rivers of water—rooted, fruitful, and enduring. The ungodly, by contrast, are like chaff driven by the wind. Psalm 2 shows how kings and rulers resist God’s authority, yet God laughs and establishes His Son as King over all. The lesson is timeless: rebellion leads to ruin, but trust leads to blessing.
On This Date in Church History (October 22 1844)
In 1844, thousands of believers expected Christ’s return, following William Miller’s calculations. When Jesus did not appear, the event became known as the Great Disappointment. Out of this moment of heartbreak came renewed study and humility before Scripture—leading to the formation of the Adventist movements. The lesson remains: our hope is sure, but our timing is not.
Prayer Segment
Steve invites prayer for several members of the Lifespring Family, including Del, John, and the Lovely Lady LeeAnn, offering thanksgiving for God’s protection and interceding for healing and comfort.
Reflection & Application
Psalms 1 and 2 remind us that blessing flows from faithfulness. Those who root themselves in God’s Word stand strong, even when the world rages against Him. True joy comes not from self-determination, but from submission to the Lord’s reign. Take time this week to dwell on His Word, let it shape your thoughts, and trust that He is still on the throne.
