The Tree of Your Life
Bible paints a clear picture of a prosperous, successful life.
Blessed man is like a tree planted by the streams of water, safe even in the times of drought, with lush green leaves and a plenty of fruit during it’s season. Such a man is firmly rooted and stands strong even in the worst storms.
On the other hand, those who are failing are likened to a shrub, a chaff blown away by wind.
When you look at your life, does it resemble the the dying tree in a parched field or the thriving tree in the land of lush greens? And more importantly, what do you want your life to look like?
1. Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
or set foot on the path of sinners,
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2. But his delight is in the Law of the Lord,
and on His law he meditates day and night.
3He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
yielding its fruit in season,
whose leaf does not wither,
and who prospers in all he does.
Psalm 1
