Verse of The Day: Psalm 1:3
”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.”
We will now consider the blessedness of a godly man described as a well-watered tree. Like a well-placed tree by abundant waters, the godly individual thrives. This vivid imagery encapsulates the essence of a life attuned to God's Word and planted in the fertile soil of righteousness.This life is not a happenstance occurrence but a deliberate planting—a soul carefully situated in the nourishing soil of God's truth. The roots delve deep, drawing sustenance from the ever-flowing stream of divine wisdom.
The outcome is evident: a life in vibrant health. The godly individual, rooted in truth and righteousness, is a living testament, declaring the grace of God in a world parched by the drought of worldly enticements.
Just as a tree bears fruit in its season, so does the life rooted in God's Word. The godly soul brings forth the fruits of righteousness, love, and compassion—a testimony to the transformative power of divine cultivation. This life is not a spontaneous growth but a purposeful journey, continually deepening its roots, growing stronger in grace, and bearing fruit in due season.
This passage describes what you should be - a vibrant christian, living for God in this evil generation and still bearing fruit of righteousness.
