Growth

Firm Like a Tree

"He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season."
Psalm 1:3

Reflection

A tree by the river is never thirsty. Whoever stays close to God always has somewhere to drink, even when everything around is dry.

Prayer

Lord, plant me close to You, my water. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Why is a tree by the river never thirsty?
  2. Where do we "drink" when life gets dry?
  3. What fruit would you like to bear?

5-minute activity

Draw a tree beside a river. On its roots, write ways to stay close to God, like prayer, the Bible and church. On its branches, draw the fruit that grows. Read Psalm 1:1-3.
