192 - I Still Want to Be Like a Tree…

Psalm 1:1-3 NIV Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. On January 1st, I wrote these verses in my journal. I had in mind the women who are joining me in reading through Scripture this year (2025, you are welcome to join). I had myself in mind too. Maybe because it was the first day of the new year, I saw this as a great goal to set — to be planted by streams of living water.  And then I realized, more than a goal - this is a promise.  That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. Psalm 1:3 This is my hope for us all, no matter the year, that our roots would go deeper and our faith grow stronger. I will end the episode with the song "Psalm One" from Scripture Songs Volume 1.  If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time donation, thank you! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com
