Today’s world competes for our time everyday. We are very easily dragged to our cares, burdens, and commitments. The Psalmist’s 1st Psalm sets the context and he understands very well the need to delve into God’s word, and that too day and night. The usage of “day and night” expresses the gravity of being occupied with His word for a significant period of time. No child of God can survive the winds of this life without His word, as the Psalmist concludes with what happens without it. Contrasting the 2 trees here, one that is beside the stream and the other without the stream. The stream represents the word of God from which we draw everything for our survival. Not just that, but also to grow and bear fruit like the tree, in time. We cannnot, survive, grow or bear fruit without investing in His word.
I heard this elsewhere…If you want to know God, read His word, If want to hear the voice of God read it aloud!
