Frank takes us through Psalm 1. Here it outlines that there are only 2 ways to live in this world. The Godly person is described as truly happy as they put their trust in the eternal words of God and seek to obey him in all things. This person is described as a fruit tree planted by streams of water; a rich metaphor of abundant life both now and into eternity.
To contrast, the ungodly person is described as chaff, which is the inedible part of grain which is separated from the edible. This stands in stark contrast to the fruit tree. Chaff is ultimately weightless, meaningless and is carried away on the wind. This shows us that when we cut ourselves off from the true joy giver (God) we are left with a life that when tested in judgement, will prove to have been wasted.
