Barren
or fruitful
Have
you been to the desert? One moment you
can only see desolation, dry sand, and large rocks . The next moment when you
come to civilization, you find lush, green grass, colourful flowers of all
sorts blooming profusely.
What
a difference - the desolate and the vibrant growth were both in desert climate.
The verdant growth was carefully tended, watered, pruned and fertilized. The
desolate desert was not.
How
do you keep our soul from becoming barren and lean ?
How
do we make our lives fruitful and alive ?
Just
mediate on the Bible all the time !!
Psalm
1 : 3
He
is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
