Like a tree…
The following is an illustration in the Bible, a “picture” of God working in the lives of those who believe His words – all of them.
Consider a tree. It needs a steady supply of water; not only to be kept alive but to grow and produce fruit. Even the leaves of the tree are important and will not wither when the roots of the tree is well watered.
Follower of Christ – are you being “well-watered” every day? Prayerfully reading God’s words each day of 2019 will keep you “well-watered.”
Those who choose God’s ways and words – to think deeply and ponder God’s words will be like a well-watered tree.
The Psalmist described believers in God when he wrote about a tree!
(NASB) Psalm 1:3 “He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
Those who know Christ Jesus as their Savior and are fed by prayerfully reading His words every day – are like that well-watered tree. They will yield fruit and their life will not wither away.
Being continually nourished by God’s words is rooting your life in the words of God.
What can we take into heaven? We cannot take what we own into heaven. But we can take what we invest in eternity – by being rich in His words in our lives.
God’s words are unchanging and they are eternal.
Invest in eternity my friend! Be like a well-watered tree as you prayerfully read God’s word, each and every day.

And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.”
