A Tree Near Running Water

Psalm 1 compares the person who follows the Law, a Just Person, to a tree planted near running water. Such a tree remains green, is fruitful in due season and prospers.  Following the Law demands reflection on it, avoidance of the counsel of the "wicked", and the company of the "insolent."  This formula remains true today: daily prayerful reflection, mixing with good company, which provides authentic joy, and contentment with the plan God has outline for happiness.  Sounds simple, and is.  All we have to do is live and act this way, not just talk or read about it.
