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.”
Imagine a meticulously cultivated tree, deliberately positioned by the streams of life-giving water, its roots tapping into the sustenance provided by the Creator. This vivid illustration mirrors the deliberate nurturing of a life by God—intentional, purposeful, and rooted in the richness of His Word.
The blessed individual is not a random occurrence but a deliberate planting by the divine Gardener. God ensures that the channels of living water are directed toward this soul, cultivating, nurturing, and building the believer into a fruitful expression of righteousness.
Fertility characterises the life rooted in divine cultivation. Just as a well-tended tree yields abundant fruit, the blessed man, saturated by the waters of God's Word, bears the fruits of righteousness, love, and good works. Every endeavour becomes an opportunity for prosperity, for God's intention is to make you fruitful in every good work.
God's desire is for you to thrive, rooted in the knowledge of His will. Being planted by the rivers of water signifies a life filled with divine wisdom, ensuring that you are equipped for every good work and prosperous in all you do.
