To the person that daily delights and meditates on the word of God, there are great benefits. Psalms 1:3 reveals some of those benefits. Among the benefits are never-ending provision. The righteous are like a tree planted by the rivers of water. That is the perfect place for a tree to be. The tree can draw water any time it desires, and in any amount that it desires. It is the same for those who daily delight and mediate on the word of God. There is a never-ending supply of wisdom, strength, confidence, provision, joy, peace, direction, instruction, etc. I can go on and on, but this is just the first part of the benefits. It also says that its leaf shall not wither. Leaves are a very important part of a tree. Leaves catch the suns rays and help to produce life-bearing energy through a process called photosynthesis. The leaves focus on the sunlight. Leaves will even turn toward the sun to maximize their ability to catch the light. For us, God’s word is light and life. If we would just focus on His word daily, it will also release life and energy to us. And finally, when we daily delight and meditate on the word of God, everything we do shall prosper. It’s time to reassess your daily habits. Are you daily delighting and meditating on the word of God? Or are you planted in a spiritual desert? If so, it’s time to move to that place where you can be planted by the “rivers of water.” Selah!
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.
