The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Psalm 1:4 – As I sit writing this devotional our family is on vacation and I’ll looking out over the Gulf of Mexico. This is my first time ever seeing an ocean/gulf/beach/anything bigger than a lake in Kansas. As I listen to the waves crash, I’m reading Psalm 1 about when a man is following after the Lord He is planted like a tree by streams of water. He never runs dry for God never runs dry. As vast of an expanse of waters that is before my eyes is, it compares nothing to what the Lord can provide for His people. Yet the choice to refuse all that is here too. The wicked, those who reject the Lord, are like a tree seeking to be planted on the sidewalk path by the beach. So close to the never ending supply of water, but choose to root themselves in something that will never provide. They will dry up and fade away in the wind. Today God is inviting you to plant yourself deeply within Himself. Follow Him this new year, choose to make your life be about what God is about. When we make this choice to follow Jesus, there we will find the never ending refreshment of our soul. If you have never made that choice to follow Him, what a great time to so by starting off your new year with Jesus! Happy New Year! I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2956
Question To Ponder: Why might someone choose to refuse to plant themselves in the Lord where they are told they’ll be provided for?
