“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.” Psalm 1:3-4
Those who turn from the ways of this world and continue in the teaching of God’s Word are like a tree planted near streams of water. They are continually watered, grow, and produce fruit, even in times of drought and difficulty. But those who do not repent and look to Christ for mercy and forgiveness are like the chaff that the wind drives away after the wheat is gathered into the garner.
Grant that I continue in Your Word, O LORD, repent of my sins and look to Christ Jesus and His cross for mercy and forgiveness that I might live my life for You and produce fruit acceptable in Your sight for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
[Scripture quoted from the King James Version of the Bible]
