The Scriptures reveal that God desires that we prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers. In Deuteronomy 8:18 He declares: “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day”. Psalms 1:3 declares: man that delights in the Lord and meditates on His word day and night will prosper in whatever he does. The key here is the consistent application of God’s word and principles in ones life. There is a grace to prosper in your life if you choose to receive it and walk in it. The analogy of a tree planted by the rivers of water give the picture of one remaining close to God and His word. Because of this practice, you will always have all the wisdom, provision, strength and health that you need to accomplish all the He calls you to do. If you haven’t yet, begin now to plant yourself right next to the rivers of God’s word and wisdom.
Psalms 1:3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
King David used a powerful picture of a healthy, fruitful tree to describe those who trust in the Lord. In verse 3, the king says that those who trust the Lord will bring forth fruit in their season. God seeks fruit in our lives. fruit of our faith; fruit of others coming to Christ through our witness; fruit of a life that pleases God. He also says that our “leaf shall not wither.” I believe that God is giving us new strength, new joy, new passion in this season. They enemy would try to cause us to “wither” and go away. God is saying that this will be our most fruitful season, and He will give us new strength and renew our youth. What the enemy meant for evil, God’s about ready to turn it around for our good! Receive new strength and joy today!
Psalms 1:3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
