He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
- Psalm 1:3 (NKJV)
Branching off yesterday’s verse (see what I did there? Tree? Branch? I have a sense of humor!) we learn that the person that follows God is presented as a beautiful, healthy tree.
When you are walking (or driving) around trees, notice that the strongest and prettiest trees are the ones that get the best sunlight and rain.
With nothing blocking them, they can grow big, strong and continue to produce what ever it was created to produce.
When we plant seeds in rich fertile soil, give them daily water and sunlight, nourish them and care for them, they grow into beautiful plants that go on to create more plants just like them.
It is the same with humans.
When we are “planted” in the Word, when we refresh ourselves with the Living Water and eat our Daily Bread, we will flourish and grow.
I don’t know about you, but I like to flourish!
