—Psalm 1
by: Joy Choquette.
This passage reminds us that wisdom, happiness, and delight come from following God’s will for us. When we do, we are like trees planted by freshwater springs, it says, bearing fruit when the time is right. Note that it is not always the right season for bearing fruit. Sometimes we lie dormant, taking in nutrients and resting. Sometimes all effort goes into creating new leaves and soaking up the sun. But God, in His wisdom, knows that when we keep our focus on Him and look to Him for our nourishment, we will bear good fruit at the perfect time.
