WALKING ALONG STREAMS OF WATER IS always refreshing. The ambiance of flourishing forest foliage, the sound of streaming water, the cadence of hopefully, unseen insects, the chirps and choruses of happy birds flitting and flying about, and the sound of otherwise stillness, gladdens the eyes and heart. It can be euphoric.
For me, it brings out gratitude to the Lord and Creator of all the earth. It's an opportunity to praise my Creator God for all His wonderful creation.
The Psalm 1 psalmist likens the righteous and blessed man to a tree that is planted firmly beside streams of water. It is flourishing and producing its seasonal fruit and no leaves are withering, nor does strong wind blow it over.
When we delight in the law of the Lord, meditate on His word day and night as the psalm suggests, and follow Him accordingly, we too can be like that tree. May we each prosper in our souls and bear fruit for Jesus, not just in our own spiritual growth but in being fruitful and multiplying, bringing many sons and daughters into God's family.
May the ambiance of Christ in us gladden God's eye and heart as He sees us so prosper. I ask in our Lord Jesus's name, amen.
