Psalm 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

One of the pleasures I have in my golden years is my daily walk.  During these walks in the early spring, I witness the beauty of nature awakening from the cold darkness of the winter to the warmth and sunshine that this time of the year brings.  However, it is in the yards and gardens that the beauty of this time of the year seems to explode into color. 

These yards and gardens are like the congregation of the righteous.  God has planted them in the right location for sunlight and moisture.  They bring forth their fruit in their season and even in times of drought their leaves do not wither.  They prosper in all their endeavors.  This congregation of the righteous are those that walk daily with the Lord.  They understand the simple nature of living day by day in the light of His guiding Word.  Their daily prayer is simple, because they realize that their heavenly Father knows what things they need before they ask Him. 

Walking this journey of life is simple.  We realized that His will be done both in heaven and on earth.  We are to live daily, forgetting the things of the past and pressing forth to the high calling of Christ.  We must also look to forgive others as we also seek forgiveness from God for our daily transgressions.  We must not follow after the ways of the ungodly but stay away from anything that is ungodly.  This is the secret of the Lord’s Prayer as well as verse two of this Psalm.  Make your delight the law of the Lord.  Meditate day and night on His word and you enjoy being the tree that is planted by the river of waters that brings forth your fruit in the season that God has planned for you.
