TODAY’S WORD…

.

Happy are those

who reject the advice of evil people,

who do not follow the example of sinners

or join those who have no use for God.

.

Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord,

and they study it day and night.

.

They are like trees that grow beside a stream,

that bear fruit at the right time,

and whose leaves do not dry up.

They succeed in everything they do.

.

– Psalm 1:1-3 (GNT)

.

REFLECTION…

.

We are very much like a tree

– we need nourishment,

and our prime source of spiritual nourishment, is Jesus

– He provides all that we need

to grow,

to prosper,

and to bear fruit.

.

The difference between trees and us Christians is

that whereas trees cannot choose for themselves where to be planted,

in our case, we are left free to decide.

.

It is so sad

when some of us, who were originally “planted” by the True Source of Life,

take a conscious decision

and move away.
