Daily Word

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Psalm 1:3-4. As Joseph prospered in Egypt, so will the righteous man. He is compared to a luxuriant tree, ever blooming because water is near. The contrast is strong. The wicked are compared to dead and rootless plants. A puff of wind carries them away. What does it mean to be prosperous in your eyes? Is it a Spiritual view or a worldly view? One who is rooted and planted in His Word remains strong and is prosperous. However, without His Word actively working in and through your life you will ultimately wither and die…That path is easley recognized as when the trials and tribulations that life brings comes their way…they are driven about like chaff in the wind!
