Read Psalm 1:1-3- Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.

Do you see the creation imagery? Parallels us to trees, where are we planted? Ultimately asking the question, what gives us life? What is the source of your life? When we are planted by God’s truth, God’s presence we are given life.

Take a moment and look at the parallels between what it means to walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way of sinners. Then look at what it means to be planted by the streams. What is the key in verse 2 of what it means to be planted by the streams? How can you apply that truth today?
