Blessed like a Tree by Streams of Water
Psalm 1:1-3 and Trees along a Stream, Platte River State Park, Nebraska.
“How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.” Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed and Rooted in God’s Word
When we walk with God and not in the ways of the wicked nor the sinner, our lives are better. Psalm 1 gives us a great word picture of how God blesses those who read His word and follow His ways. When we root ourselves in God we can trust Him and stand tall in good times and in bad times.

Welcome back! We are so happy you and your family were refreshed – you were missed!
Praise God for this picture of the trees (us) being planted firmly by the streams of water – our great hope, the Living Water
Beautiful teaching.

Yes, I see this played out in the lives of many including this humble child who started from nothing and am blessed with much.
Amen John!
