7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. 8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
Thought:
Ever since I have been studying text for last weeks service, more and more of them keep coming to me in my readings about seeds, planting, being fruitful, and rooted all in God's words. But this one indicates that we we grow up in those words with trust and confidence nothing will be able to destroy us. Even the weeds that try to strangle us and keep us from growing for God. Find that tree that you used to swing on, or fish by as a kid. Yeah, the one that was always there for you, and is still there as you drive by that spot. That's what this scripture tells us that we will be with our confidence in God.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, as it is written in Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Let us be that tree planted firmly in you. Amen.
