His delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law heCosmicSpirit Animal Reviewmeditates day and night. 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. (NKJV Psalm 1:2-3)
So simply put and envisioned, this psalm talks of a tree that is situated next to a river that sustains its life, helps it bloom, and gives fruit when it should. This is God's perfect plan working the way it was meant to be.
I believe the very last phrase kept me going: “and whatever he does shall prosper.” That didn't mean monetary things to me. That meant prospering in my Christian work for a loving God. I wanted to prosper as a believer! I wanted to conquer the Mount Everest of problems, paperwork, and stuff of grief that lay before me. God could and would help me; I could trust His words from this very first chapter of Psalms.
