"Strong Tree" with The Bible Reading: Psalm 1:1-6 for Sunday, 7 May 2017 from Deaf Devo in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States

"Strong Tree" with The Bible Reading: Psalm 1:1-6
Psalm 1:1 How blessed are those
who reject the advice of the wicked,
don’t stand on the way of sinners
or sit where scoffers sit!
2 Their delight
is in Adonai’s Torah;
on his Torah they meditate
day and night.
3 They are like trees planted by streams —
they bear their fruit in season,
their leaves never wither,
everything they do succeeds.
4 Not so the wicked,
who are like chaff driven by the wind.
5 For this reason the wicked
won’t stand up to the judgment,
nor will sinners
at the gathering of the righteous.
6 For Adonai watches over
the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked
is doomed.

Psalm 1 talks about a tree and chaff. When trees have plenty of water and good roots, they grow strong and tall. Chaff is the seed coverings and stems from grain. A farmer separates the grain from the chaff. The chaff is very light and is easily blown away.
If we love and obey God, we are like a tree. As we learn more about God and share His love with others, we mature and become stronger in our faith. But if we do not love and obey God, we are like chaff. We are easily influenced by false teachings. We do not grow and become strong.
How can we be like a strong tree that produces good fruit? Verse 1 of our Bible Reading says that we should not pay attention to evil advice or live like sinners. Verse 2 tells us we should love God's Word and think about it all the time.
Think about your life today. Build your life on God and His Word. Then you will grow and be a strong Christian.
"So they grow strong, like a tree planted by a stream - a tree that produces fruit when it should and has leaves that never fall.
Everything they do is successful."
[Psalm 1:3]
PRAYER: God, I want to obey You and live for You every day. In Jesus' name. Amen.
