Walk a freshly tilled garden. Barefoot. Let your toes feel the rich soil, so tender and soft.
Then dig your feet in. Enjoy the warmth of the earth as it wraps your skin.
Or walk along the beach and work your feet into the sand. On a warm day, the feeling is fabulous.
We get the same sensation when we walk with God … spend time in his Word … kneel before him in prayer.
Psalm 1:3 describes the glorious effect of spending time with God:
“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.”
Now reread the final words in this verse: Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Whatsoever. Anything. Prosper. Return unto you multiplied.
And if you don’t spend time with God? What happens then?
You have no roots, you are not planted, and the next verse describes what happens next.
“The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.” (Psalm 1:4)
Now’s your time. The opportunity you’ve waited for. Open the Word. Get on your knees. Spend time with God. Plant your spiritual feet deep into his freshly tilled soil. You will grow in him more than you thought you could.
