PLANTED WHERE NEEDED

Psalm 1:3 (NKJV) 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, ... 
    Every thing has a purpose, we may not know what that purpose is, but its existence proves God's hand and His amazing Love. Here the righteous are compared to trees that have been planted by streams of water where they can thrive. What is the reason, I am glad you asked!
    First, planted, indicates (purpose) meaning a plan or intentional, God deliberately plants His children where they will do the most good from His perspcetive not ours. Second there is water, (His Word) an abundance of what is needed to do the work He has called us to, if we embrace the Source we will grow. Third His strenghth, is embeded in us, as a trees natural fibers support it to endure trials so we will withstand the tests of time. Fourth the fruit, or the produce of the tree is evidence of God's fore sight in planting to get the most of the servant and offer a pleasant taste to all who will eat from His tree. Fifth, the leaves are always green, there will always be shelter and beauty for the soul searching for protection and help in God. Sixth, there is the obvious, God expects what He plants to succeed, that means "God's work done God's way for God's purpose," will bring Godly results.
     Be encouraged today, God has a plan for you, and His plan will not fail, trust Him right now, with everything and you too will find His hand in your life! You have been planted where you are!
Heavenly Father help me to thrive where you have planted me, use me to meet the needs of others, let the water of Your Word encourage those around me, may Your Strength be mine and let Your Spirit teach us Your ways. Thank You for those who have paved the way with their lives and thank You for working through them to encourage us. Amen
