Tree or Chaff?

Which are you... the tree or the chaff?

Psalm 1:1-6

1 - Blessed  is  the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 - But his delight  is  in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 - And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 - The ungodly  are  not so: but  are  like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 - Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 - For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

This world, our flesh, and the god of this world are constantly working to pull our hearts and minds away from anything that has to do with Jesus Christ the Lord. As children of God, we need to decide where we are going to be planted. Are we going to root ourselves right next to the River of Living Water? Or are we going to allow the things of this world draw us away from our only Source of Life and settle in a place we were never supposed to be in, with the chaff? Is our place among that which is only fit for being burned with unquenchable fire?

Luke 3:17 - Whose fan  is  in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

Let us all determine to take heed... see where we are at... repent, and turn unto the Lord... May we all choose to be planted by the River of Living Water, and glorify our Lord.
