Fruitful Trees

 Psa 1:1  Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 

Psa 1:2  but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 

Psa 1:3  He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. 

In this post modern age there are many wicked people who scoff at the truth and oppose everything that is good. We do not want to be with them; God has a better way for us. The Bible is his word to us so that we may know the right way. It is like refreshing water to our soul. The Psalm pictures people as trees planted by streams of water. They are healthy and fruitful. 

We have irrigation canals in our area and alongside of them are trees growing. You know there is water because of all the trees.  This Psalm  describes people as trees. There are other places in the Bible  where people are described as trees.

Mat 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 

Mat 7:16  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 

Mat 7:17  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 

Isa 61:3  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. 

Let us be as fruitful trees planted by the LORD and watered by His word.
