Bible: Flowing Streams of Water to Feed Our Life


We have flowing streams of the whole Bible as water to feed the tree of our life.   Each day that we read a portion of the Bible it is water that feeds our spirit.   The residual effect is a beautiful life & the fruit of character.

Each day we need to put our roots in Christ, then we are refreshed.   Out of His word Christ will give us a thought that will change our day.  Expect nothing less!  Think about His Word,  spend time reading & thinking about what you have read.  It means asking yourself how you should change so you're living how God wants.   Knowing & thinking about God's Word are the first steps in applying it to your everyday life.   If you want to follow God more closely, you need to know what He says.

The more we want to obey God, the more fruitful we are.  If you want God's blessing, make friends with those who love God & His Word.   God wants to prosper you!  The word "prosper" in the Bible does not mean you will not encounter failure or difficulties.  Nor is it a guarantee of health, wealth, & happiness.  Prosperity in the Bible is this:  When we apply God's wisdom, the fruit we bear will be good & receive God's approval.  Soak up God's Word, producing actions & attitudes that honor God.   We must have God's Word in our hearts.


But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he mediates day and night (Psalm 1:2 NKJB).
