Today my devotion was in Psalms 1.
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
Verse three really stood out to me. "He shall be like a tree, Planted by the rivers of water." I love to be outdoors and I LOVE a big pecan bottom on a creek or river. There are always a few HUGE trees that it takes several people to reach around. The big trees have been around for maybe 100 years. If they could tell you of the things they have seen in their life times I am sure it would be amazing.
One day when I am gone I hope that some people will be able to say that David was a tree that stood firm in all the storms that life could throw at him. Every now and then a branch may break and cause some pain but our heavenly father knows that we need to be pruned to get rid of some things in our lives. It saddens me to see people in and out of church. Living by faith and being blessed and then living in the flesh and struggling. They are blown by the winds of life every direction but the right one.
As we leave for Kenya in a few short hours, I want God to open my eyes and my heart to love like I have never loved before. Kim and I ask that you will pray for our team as we travel. God has great things ahead of this team and I am very excited to see what happens.
God Bless.
David and Kim
