A Psalms a day

I decided to venture into reading one psalms a day & I decided to start yesterday.

After getting all the kids to shower & finally to bed, I decided to settle down in the sofa & read my first Psalms. [Oh... I am not married with kids ya? I was doing my first overnight duty yesterday. It was also like my first hands-on experience of a mother.]

I am reminded to be like a tree that is planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Psalms 1:4 (NIV)

Just 2 days back, I went out with my colleague to collect stuffs. Along the journey, we talk about our faith in God & why we decided to drop our dreams of earning big bucks and joined a VWO. He shared that God gave him a vision. The vision of a tree that is deeply rooted with a big shade.

When he shared, I recalled this verse from Psalm 1:4. Before, this was the verse that my ex-UL had for our unit. That we will be like a tree that is planted so near the waters so that we can be deeply rooted in His word, be immersed in His presence.

I believe this verse did not come to me by coincidence. Coupled with today's sermon (Depending on God), I humbly surrender to Him once again.
