He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
brings forth its fruit in its season. — Psalm 1:3
|
'Deep Roots!'
In my orchard are two pear trees.
Last summer was extremely dry, yet one of the trees was
unaffected and remained green and yielded luscious
pears. The other tree did not do so well. Its leaves
turned yellow, the fruit shriveled, and the leaves and
the fruit both dropped to the ground. The tree seemed to
be dead.
Then came the rains, and the ground was soaked with
moisture. The tree that seemed to be dead sprang to life
again. Soon it was covered with leaves, and (believe it
or not) in the latter part of August it burst into full
bloom. Little pears came into view, but then came the
frost and no fruit matured.
One tree thrived and produced delicious fruit in season.
What made the difference? Its roots had grown deep,
where they found plenty of water. The other had shallow
roots and depended on the uncertain rains. The one was
like the tree David described, “planted by the rivers of
water” (Ps. 1:3). The other, with belated bloom, bore no
fruit.
Which kind of a tree are you? Do your roots go deep into
the underground streams of the Word of God, or is your
devotional life shallow and only occasional? Dig deep,
friend, deep into the Book, and your life will produce
abundant spiritual fruit.

BE BLESSED
Reflect & Pray
The just are nourished like a tree
Set by the riverside;
Their leaf is green, their fruit is
sure,
And thus their works abide. —Anon.
We cannot bear fruit without the
water of God's Word.
Jesus died in our place to give us His peace.

Dear Lord, You bless me in
more ways than I can count. Thank You for Your love for
me.
When you think of all that’s good, give thanks to God.
