The Scent of Water

Father in Heaven,
     Lord, I praise You! I love You! You are so holy, so righteous, so merciful and so patient. You are amazing - the great I AM -
     I am so thankful that Your word, says "At the scent of water it will flourish (a tree stump) and put forth sprigs like a plant"! (Job 14:9) Imagine, not a drip of water, but just the scent! How much more so for Your children? Your children that You made in Your image!?
     You created man to rule! We messed up and sinned, and spiritually died, but You didn't leave us there dead! You not only gave us the "scent of water" in the form of Your word, but then You sent Jesus to raise us up, out of death and then You sent the Holy Spirit to provide a continual drenching rain so that we will send forth "new sprigs" of life.
     We are not to stop at sending forth new sprigs! We are to daily seek Your nourishment and stay under Your protection that our roots grow deep, that we be firmly planted, that we yield fruit, that we not wither and that we prosper!
     Thank You Lord, You have created us for life in You, fellowship with You and production for You! Even if we let life get in the road or distract us "the scent of water" can bring us back to "Life"in You, right where we need to be!
     "Choose Life!" Deut 30:19

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the eye of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields it's fruit in it's season, and it's leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does he prospers.
Psalms 1:1-3
