Psalm 1:3 “He shall like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.”
Here we find a tree that doesn’t wither but prospers. This is the kind of person that God wants you to be. Someone who stands tall and strong. A person who can withstand the storms of life. Someone who is fruitful enough to bless people here and now, and there and then! Like the Survivor Tree in Oklahoma City, we can turn tragedy around into triumph, bringing hope to people’s lives as we share the Gospel.
The contrast in this chapter is with the wicked person who has become mere sawdust. They are blown away by the wind. What a comparison – tree or sawdust!
This kind of life can only be built on the Word of God. Verse 2 says that we meditate on it i.e. chew it over. Make the decision today, to build a life that is like that tree, and not sawdust!
