Like A Tree Firmly Planted
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.
Psalm 1:3, nasb
Many people in society want to live a more stable life. To those who are filled with anxiety and unable to cope with their circumstances, the world offers a myriad of solutions that don’t work.
Unfortunately, many churches have followed the world in believing that man can only solve his problems through secular psychology—a product that can’t live up to its promises.
Where can you find stability? The answer is in Psalm 1. It begins, “How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners!” (Ps 1:1, nasb) and ends, “Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment…. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish” (Ps 1:5-6).
The person who walks with God knows stability, but the one who rejects Him flounders in meaningless existence. Which would you rather be?
