The Church at Hiraeth: The trees with the deepest roots survive the worst droughts
The message for this week’s The Church at Hiraeth Wednesday Words Of Wisdom was inspired by a recent fishing trip to the River Severn.
Due to the very warm weather, combined with the lack of rainfall, many of the plants and flowers were looking jaded. However, the trees alongside the Severn were coping admirably with the conditions.
Not only were their roots deeper but they were also in the right place.
The message for us is to make sure that our faith in God is deep.
‘Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.‘
Psalm 1
