Thoughts on Spiritual Horticulture--Part 3


Thoughts on Spiritual Horticulture--Part 3
          There are also some things that the spiritually green tree does do in order to stay green.  This tree makes God his strength  does not trust in wealth; does not strengthen  himself in wickedness.  This spiritually green tree praises God continually (for ever and ever) because he understands that the source of spiritual chlorophyll A and B is God and God alone. 
The spiritually green tree trusts in the mercy of the Lord.  This is necessary because musicians are often self-starters who have a propensity to be self-centered, self-trusting.  Hebrews 11:6 warns, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”  It is one thing to believe in God but another to believe that HE is the rewarder rather than SELF.  Psalm 121:2 reminds us that “My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”  It is the  spiritual chlorophyll from God that sustains spiritual life of the green tree Christian.
Thought for the Day
In Psalm 52:7b the Psalmist stated I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.  The green-tree Christian has developed a wisdom that causes him or her to wait on God.  Are you comfortable waiting on God?
