A Promise to Count On

Do you ever feel like you are on a treadmill going nowhere or trapped in the movie “Groundhog Day,” accomplishing nothing? It’s terribly discouraging to feel like you are not accomplishing anything or never getting ahead. I’m not sure why it’s so easy to be talked into buying things that promise much but deliver little. Scripture makes bold promises.
It Is Written
PSALM 1:2 -3 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.
A Bold Promise
According to this verse, delighting in and meditating on the law of the Lord comes with the promise that we will be like a tree planted by the riverbank, bearing fruit; our leaves won’t wither, and we will prosper in all we do. We get sucked into trying weight-loss plans and vitamins that promise all kinds of things but deliver no results. Why not try this one? There is a great free Bible app with a wide range of devotionals in any Bible translation you choose. You can even compare verses across translations to find the one that speaks best to you.
Prayer
Lord, I am going to try to delight in and meditate on Your word. Show me where to begin. I want to be like a tree planted by the riverbank, bearing fruit
with leaves that do not wither. I’d like to prosper in all I do. I ask for Your help.
Takeaway
Delighting in God's Word yields good fruit.
