Tumbleweed or Oak Tree?
Tumbleweed or Oak Tree?
by: Pastor Ryan Scheibel
Psalms 1, “Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.”
Galen Anderson said “A man’s life is either like a tumbleweed or an oak tree. Some people just grow like a weed. They’re of no value in their youth, and as the years of life come, they break loose and become a blotch on society. They have no useful purpose in life just drifters. Then there are those whose lives are like the oak. They have invested in things that have genuine worth. Their influence for good will live on in the lives of others after they are gone. Their death is noticed because their lives were spent bettering the nation and the community. They will be missed.”
I hope you chose to be like the mighty tree! You have a purpose as you live your life for Jesus. No one wants to be a tumbleweed.
The Bible tells us if you are in the Word of God, you are like this mighty oak tree! If you are not in the Word of God, your like the tumbleweed.
