What an amazing piece of scripture. When you break it down to see the raw meat of the word, there is such meaning and understanding that can not be denied. An analogy so simple, yet so true and real. We must also follow Christ's example and grow our roots deep into the soil and always be fruitful.

Thank you for your honest comments JG. I've enjoyed reading them and have been encouraged by your sincerity.
Psalm 1: 2-3 are verses I read often to remind me to push on in my studies and not allow myself to be distracted by the pressures of the outside world, for without God's Word to sustain me I will have no strength left to continue in my efforts anyway. Also, I've recently been reading Ecclesiastes and am reminded that God is my source of meaning. Why toil at all if it is not to His glory?
