Where are your roots going?

More than once God’s Word gives us the image of trees using their roots to get the water and nourishment they need. In Psalm one we get one of my favorite pictures…and contrasts.

Remember, verses 1-2 talked about those who delight in the Lord and in His wisdom. Then verse 3 continues…

“They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.”  (Psalm 1:3-5 NLT)

And there’s that contrast again. Kind of like the book of Proverbs contrasting wise and foolish people, here again it shows us the choice we have to make.

So, where are your roots getting their nourishment?
