DAY TWENTY-ONE

“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.”

Psalm 1:3

“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,

they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

planted in the house of the Lord,

they will flourish in the courts of our God.”

Psalm 92:12,13

COMMENT

Isn’t this a beautiful picture of a tree whose roots go down deep into the stream?  It grows tall and strong because its roots draw up nourishment and moisture from the earth   A person whose life is anchored in God’s word is just like a tree with strong roots.  No matter how hard the wind blows, he is stable and secure because his root system draws nourishment from God’s word.  How would you like to be someone who isn’t easily thrown of balance when trouble comes?  You can be if your  security comes from knowing and trusting in God.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

Why don’t you take time today to thank God for the strength and stability you have in your life because you have been rooted in the truth of His word.
