Some great poetry is found in the Psalms. Psalm 1 talks about those who read the Bible … and love the words so much that they think about them all the time. They are described “like trees growing beside a steam, trees that produce fruit in season and always have leaves.” [Contemporary English Version v.2-3]
What is your focus in life; what do you think about day and night? God, our Creator, has a purpose for us and desires to be in relationship with us. Francis Chan says, “God wants His Word to be a delight to us, so much so that we meditate on it day and night.” Some of my favorite Psalms are: 1, 8, 23, and 100. Don’t have a Bible? You can read online at www.biblegateway.com or go to any bookstore and look for a modern translation such as the New International Version or a paraphrase such as the CEV. That image is so inviting; don’t you want to be that tree refreshed by the stream producing fruit and flowers and providing cool shade?
