3.25.18 – Vance
Havner said, “The righteous man is not like a tombstone but like a tree.”
In fact he is like a “tree planted by the waters,” not just put there but
planted there! A tree has roots and we must be “rooted” in the right thing for
the right reason and our “branches” must bear the right kind of fruit.
Tombstones are a dead lifeless thing while a tree is a living life giving
organism. Don’t be a tombstone, be a tree!”
My prayer for you today is that you might
be a fruit bearer and that as you grow in the Lord you would bear more fruit
and then much fruit.
Psalms 1:3 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. KJV
“One day two men were fishing, when a
Game Warden slipped up on them and asked to see their fishing licenses. One of
the men took off running. So the warden started chasing him. He ran after the
man up and down the side of the river, thru the swamp, up the side of a
mountain, the man swam across the river with the warden right behind him. Then
he swam back across the river with the warden still right behind him. Finally
after about three miles of chasing the game warden caught up with the man,
bleeding and out of breath the warden asked to see his fishing license. The man
reached in his pocket and pulled out his license and handed it to the warden. The warden asked why did you run? The man just looked at the warden and smiled
and said: 'my friend doesn't have a license!” ChristiansUnite.Com
