A Well-Nourished Tree
“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalm 1:3
A deep-rooted tree can survive prolonged dry periods; it has the capacity to uptake water below the ground, far beyond what can be seen with the natural eye… the roots run so deep that even in the most adverse conditions they can reach the rich nourishment and water under great depths below the earth’s surface.
The Psalmist in the 1st Psalm writes of a blessed man who meditates on God’s word; he is synonymous to those deep-rooted trees that receive rich nourishment from a constant flowing stream from deep within; he receives life giving water from on high; Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well about the water that only He could give: “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life”
Are you drinking from the everlasting fountain, that never runs dry- If not, Jesus is calling, today is the day of salvation…won’t you let Him in? “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” John 7:38.
And to all my dear sisters and brothers in Christ, we all experience prolong dry periods in our lives at one time or another; but no one ever promised that this life would be one of ease…but the nourishing water that flows within our hearts will strengthen, succor, and lead us in the paths of righteousness.
Know that the promises of God are faithful and true, and when we delight in His word we will be just as that well-nourished tree– the life-giving water that flows through our belly brings innumerous spiritual blessings, such as joy, peace, comfort, reassurance of provision, protection, healing, and God’s unconditional love forever…praise God, it quenches our thirst for all things!
Watch, and notice the life of all God’s beloved children who strive to remain steadfast and obedient to His Word-they are blessed, as He has promised “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalm 1:3.
God blessings and great joy to all.
