Good Morning Sunshine! Are You Planted By The Right Stream?

Psalm 1:3 AMP ~”And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season; Its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].”

What is your source? In order for a tree to strive and survive it needs water, it’s essential to the vitality of the tree. Trees need water to live like you need air to breathe. If a tree lacks water, it will become weak and wilted and die! But when the tree is positioned near a stream, it will have a continuous supply of water and therefore become stronger, vibrant and alive!

There are so many different types of fruit trees; apples, peaches, and oranges, just to name a few. Each tree bears its own type of fruit. So, what is their purpose? They exist to produce fruit that is good. The same is true for you and me. Like trees, you have a specific purpose that you were created for. God has equipped you with everything that you need to be good and to produce good. He gave you gifts and talents to fulfill His purpose. You have been Anointed, Appointed and Ordained for that gift, the calling He has called you for, and the way you discover your purpose and develop your gifts is by being planted and connected with the God and His Word.

You need to be planted by the right stream, for the right stream is the right source and that source is God. For it is impossible to bear good fruit away from God! The same is true for you, you will either be planted in the wrong place and produce no fruit or in the right place and produced a harvest. For when you are planted in the right house of God, you will strive and grow. God’s house provides a place where you are constantly being filled by the source, and it is where your faith is consistently being watered by the Word of God, His Presence, and the Holy Spirit, and you will produce fruit that is good and pleasant.

The most important thing that you can do when you are planted in the right place is to intentionally cultivate your relationship in God and meditate on His Word. For you have two choices, you can live, the way the world leads you are you can be led by The Word of God! If you choose a life of independence you are choosing to depend on you and not God! When you seek independence away from God, you have an earthly perspective and live according to the world’s standards and not God’s.

Sometimes you may think you are living the good life and that you are successful, accepted and prospering, but you really are not at all, you have a false sense of hope, and you are not connected to the right stream! Just know that the wicked prosperity is fleeting and will be like chaff that the wind blows away. However, when you are Dependent on God and what He says you are planted by the right stream and you will have unlimited blessings and a bountiful life, you see things from God’s perspective and not yours, you can delight in His divine instructions, you recognize the value of His wisdom and orient your life around His Word.

Today, lay hold of the blessings of God as you bask in the beauty and value of His love as He strengthens your roots and nourishes your soul as you are planted by the right stream! Which is going to yield good fruit in this season and your leaves will not wither and whatever you do today, you will be prosperous; it’s for your good! Your life will be full of blessing and fruitfulness, for you are a beautiful tree planted by in God and soaking up His Grace and Mercy, and it is all for His Glory!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Thank You for planting me in and by the right stream. Thank You for giving me everything that I need to grow in my relationship with You, for I know that without You I will wither up and fade away, but when I stay connected to You, my Source, Your Word I’m going to strive and survive. Father, forgive me for every time I tried to do it on my own. “I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13)! Father, I want my life to glorify You in all things and to point others toward, Jesus. Father the more I spend time in Your Word, the less time I want to follow the world. I want to grow in the knowledge and understanding of Your Will and Your Ways. Thank You for keeping, sustaining, growing and loving me into the purpose that You Ordained me for. Father, please keep nourishing me for You are my source of strength and joy. Father, may I develop deep roots to sustain me through any and all difficulties that may I face. Help me to understanding through Your Holy Spirit as I apply the truth of Word to my life as I know that I am secure, because I am planted in You. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Blessings…
