The Permanency of God’s Plantings—part 2

The Permanency of God’s Plantings—part 2

            Yesterday we began a discussion of God’s planting of the Righteous man.  Today we will continue with more reasons why God’s planted trees have permanency.  Fourth, the first part of Psalm 1:6 states, “For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous…” which intimates that this  spiritually healthy tree is under the ward and watch of YAHV the self-existent, eternal, independent God who is alive and is I Am That I Am.  I have often told the college students who traveled in the college music organizations that I directed that serving Jesus Christ is not always “Hippity hop, over the top”  However, God is watching us and he is watching us very closely—not “from a distance” as some suppose.

            Fifth, God’s planted trees, as we have stated before, are planted by divine purpose exactly where they receive the living water necessary to sustain spiritual life and spiritual fruit.  Psalm 1:4 explains that, “The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.”  The ungodly (rasha 7563) are morally wrong or wicked and are like chaff which the wind blows away.  Conversely, the godly are planted, rooted, grounded, established people which shows that they have permanency.

Everyone that is interested in making a difference in this life desires to “put down roots”.  Christian musicians must be sure to put down roots in the field of the LORD that is close to His source of living water.   

Scripture Thought for the Day

Jeremiah 17:8, “For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.”
