“But Their Delight…”

 

tree planted by living waters

by Dona Hake

 

Psalm 1 :2-3  (TLB)

“…but they delight in doing everything God wants them to, and day and night are always meditating on his laws and thinking about ways to follow him more closely.

 They are like trees along a riverbank bearing luscious fruit each season without fail. Their leaves shall never wither, and all they do shall prosper.”

 

Oh that our true delight in this life would be to do all that our Father wants us to do.   This my friends is His will for our life here on earth.   There is great reward for being diligent in embracing the Word of God and being about His business for the Kingdom of God.  As you daily follow Him and purpose to put His teachings first and foremost in your life, He has promised that your life would be prospered.  It is then that we will  stand as trees along God’s riverbank seeing an abundant of growth and prosperity in our life. and  Let us always be mindful that our fruit is not for us alone to survive in this life but rather to be a blessing to those around us.  Let us purpose to be used by Him and to be willing to bless those He puts in our path as we live and abide in Him.  As we proclaim His Word many will be blessed and nourished from the  fruit that our lives bear.

 

 

Proverbs 10:21 (NIV)

  “The lips of the righteous nourish many…”

 

 May we purpose to meditate upon His Word continually and think about ways to follow our Lord more closely. Let us speak His Word and do His Word that we may nourish those that are needy in spirit.   I love that He has promised that our life would bear fruit all the seasons that we live,  and all that we put our hand to shall prosper!
