You Will Not Fade! You Will Not WITHER!
You Will Not Fade! You Will Not WITHER!
Are you pooped? Are you tired? God will give what you need so that
You Will Not Fade! You Will Not WITHER! But you WILL Prosper!
Let’s look at Psalm 1 (ESV)
The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked
1 Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
You Will Not Fade! Pray that You Will Not WITHER!
Father God,
I so desperately want the joy and delight that comes from your law, from you, not from the frivolous daily fulfillments I receive. I understand that all good things have come from you and that it is right to take joy and delight in my grand-dorables and on our beautiful farm and in the successes of the Christian women entrepreneurs I coach!
But I want to work through the Psalms experiencing the joy and delight that only comes from you when I am in your word – meditating on it day and night!
I want to bear fruit each season! I’m thrilled that because of you my leaves never wither, and I prosper in all I do!
Thank you for watching over my paths, for I am sure, that left to my own direction, I would continually stumble and constantly need to redirect.
Amen
You Will Not Fade! You Will Not WITHER!
What does it mean to wither? Or NOT to wither?!
When I go to http://biblestudytools.com and look in the Strong’s Concordance it defines the word wither as “fade” and “whatsoever.“ And it sends me to the following verses:
