Planted by ...


Psalm 1:3 

He shall be like a tree
    Planted by the rivers of water,
    That brings forth its fruit in its season …

 

A tree planted by the water is rooted in the valley

Its fruit will stay close and not roll far downhill

It may float down the river to land on fertile soil

To grow into another tree God’s desires to fulfill
