This is Why You're Spiritually Stuck

Aug 3, 2025    John Michael Burrow

In this powerful exploration of Psalm 1, we're reminded of the transformative power of God's Word in our lives. The psalm paints a vivid picture of the blessed person as a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in season and with leaves that do not wither. This imagery invites us to root ourselves deeply in Scripture, drawing nourishment from its eternal truths. We're challenged to delight in God's law, meditating on it day and night, not as a mere intellectual exercise, but as a means of cultivating a vibrant, life-giving relationship with our Creator. The message emphasizes that when we build our lives on the foundation of God's Word, we find security and strength, especially in times of storm and struggle. As we face the busyness and challenges of life, let's remember that our spiritual vitality depends on staying connected to the living water of God's truth.
