Bible Commentary

Psalms 1:3

The tree is not just surviving — it is thriving. Planted by rivers means constantly fed. Fruit in season means the right things at the right time. This is the picture of a life rooted in God's Word.

Memory phrase: I am like a tree planted by the river.

Talk about it: Why does a tree planted near a river grow better than one planted far from water?

Prayer: God, make me like that tree — rooted in You, always drinking from Your Word, growing fruit that helps others.
