Psalms 1:2 KJV
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
The things we delight in tell much about us. This familiar psalm tells us the way to be blessed and happy in this life is to delight in the law of the LORD.
The word delight means, pleasure, desire, value.
The blessed man does not place his pleasures in the ungodly, sinners or the scornful.
He does not even find his pleasure in the people who are righteous, just and blessed.
His pleasure, his desire, that which he finds value in is the very Word of God.
And I suspect it is from this position of finding pleasure that he then has fellowship with those who are righteous, just and blessed. It is a matter of focus, his focus in not on the people of faith, but on the Word of God and the object of faith. From there he has not pleasure, but fellowship with others who find their pleasure in the same.
