There is something very comforting about enjoying a life that is settled and stable in a world that is so unsettled and unstable. The brokenness of life and the turmoil of the world frequently buffet our lives like hurricane force winds. Those whose lives are marked by wickedness cannot stand against such force. It is only the righteous who are able to thrive amidst life's storms.
The lesson from today's passage is all about the "root" of the righteous which allows them to be settled and stable throughout life. The trees that fall during strong thunderstorms, here in Houston, are the ones that fail to sink a tap root. The tap root goes deep into the ground giving the tree great nourishment and strength. No such root is present in the life of the wicked. Their life is shallow and thus unstable. Their life is selfish and thus unsettled.
Let's be wise in our approach to life by sinking a "tap root" deep into the ground. The way we do this is by developing a strong and loving relationship with Christ. Spending time in His Word, praying honestly and frequently, serving those He loves, and caring for those He died for. Only in our time with Him will we experience the deepening strength and stability it takes to thrive during life's frequent storms.
That's a nice picture you have. Seems like a tree is a common example in the bible. For example the famous Psalms 1:2,3 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,and who meditates on his law day and night.That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither — whatever they do prospers.
