Psalms 1: 1-3 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. In order to grow as a plant, you may need to check the instruction label of that pant.
Plant's Label:
Should the plant be in the sun or in the shade? Should the plant be watered daily or twice per week? Does the plant need new soil? Are the dead leaves removed? You are similar to a plant.
You may have to take a good, long look in the mirror and confront yourself. Are you hanging with the wrong people? Are you reading the right things? Are you watching the wrong programs? Is your diet up to par? Are you treating your children with respect? Do you put your husband/wife second to God? Are you friendly and kind? Do you use your time wisely? Are you using the gifts God has given to you? Are you living in fear?
When you need to grow that process will take courage, time and resources. If you don't take care of yourself, you will wither and die emotionally, spiritually, or physically. Therefore, take time to read the Word of God because that is your manual on how you should live a meaningful life.
