Through the Psalms #1

Through the Psalms–#1

“Blessed is the one

Who does not walk in step with the wicked

Or stand in the way that sinners take

Or sit in the company of mockers,

But whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

And who meditates on his law day and night,

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

Which yields its fruit in season.” Psalm 1:1-3

What a beautiful metaphor with a promise. When we delight in God’s law and meditate on it, we are nourished like a tree that has been planted next to water. The tree has all it needs to grow strong and beautiful. It will produce ample fruit.

In the same way, we are replenished by God’s word, granting us spiritual waters. When we meditate on his word, we can produce spiritual fruit.

Thank you, Father, for nurturing us and showing us the way to an abundant life.
