Psalm 1:1–2 “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law, he meditates day and night.”
This foundational Psalm speaks of the same blessedness in all three of the aspects of life that are here symbolized by bodily postures: walking, standing, and sitting. “Walking” can be interpreted as one’s activity, “standing” as one’s identity, and “sitting” as one’s enjoyment. In all three dimensions of life, blessing never comes from sin but only from sanctity. All our days long we are being sanctified in all three bodily postures.
