A Tree Planted by Living Water

I don’t know for sure, but I think that maybe God is trying to tell me that I’ve got to stop reacting so much, that I can’t allow the little ups and downs in my day to affect me to the core. Gentleness begins with strength, quietness with security.  A great tree is both moved and unmoved—it changes with the seasons, but its roots keep it anchored in the ground.  Rachel Held Evans

Similarly, I think it might be a good idea for me to work on being rooted and grounded and not worry about the winds that blow on a daily basis.

Psalms 1:2-3 (paraphrased)
 But her delight is in the law of the LORD,
       and on His law she meditates day and night.
She is like a tree planted by streams of water,
      which changes, but yet at its core is unchanged.
       Whatever she does prospers according to His will.
