From THE GREAT TAKEOVER series: A closer look at Psalm 1:1-3


Psalm 1:1-3
Imagine…

(Isaiah 28:17) the ground itself is the measuring line. It is Justice. the Leveler. the Law.


The roots grow down even before the tree can grow up. That is the plumbline.
The further down the roots get, the more stability the tree has, and when it comes to storms such as Hurricanes and Tornados, the tree is not so easily moved.

The same with us. The deeper we grow (in faith) the more stable we are. Therefore, to “not dig that deep” is a sign of mediocrity. Digging deep is important for growth, for stability, for maturity, for productivity.
WOW!!!!!

Sing it with me now: On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand

literally


Igneous rock is from molten lava that has hardened. Sedimentary rock is a blend of a mixture of sand and other materials.


ALL Other Ground is sinking sand.

But that Metamorphic ROCK OMG!!! Glory be to God.


This speaks volumes to me especially in lieu of the first screenplay that I wrote and won a monetary first place amount for called METAMORPHOSIS.


I had no idea of the significance of what I wrote then. WOW!!!

Christ Jesus is the solid Rock on which we stand.

Solid rock is also called metamorphic rock.


CATCH: The main feature that identifies metamorphic rocks is that they are shaped by great heat and pressure.

(I wish that there was a feature that would allow me to underline certain words. I would underline GREAT HEAT AND PRESSURE) …

Because their mineral grains grew together tightly during metamorphism, they’re generally strong rocks. They’re made of different minerals than other kinds of rocks and have a wide range of color and luster.

Glad You Asked: Igneous, Sedimentary, & Metamorphic Rocks

Metamorphic rocks tend to be the hardest of the three types of rock, which are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rocks are almost always harder than sedimentary rocks. They are generally as hard and sometimes harder than igneous rocks. They form the roots of many mountain chains and are exposed to the surface after the softer outer layers of rocks are eroded away.

Sedimentary rock is generally less hard than igneous or metamorphic rocks – this is because the lithification process (how a sedimentary rock becomes a rock) does not involve heat or pressure, and sedimentary rocks are kind of just “smooshed” together

Anyway…
I had no initial intention to share all of this.
I was actually getting ready to share this picture in the YouTube video that God has taken over and what made me share it here was Psalm 1:1 – 3


Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 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.

Those who delight in the law of the Lord.
Those who meditate on His law day and night


day and night


Meditate:
To think deeply upon
To consider
To ponder
To dig deep into


Those who do this (lol) are said to be like that tree that is planted by streams of water

Let me tell you about the tree that is planted by streams of water
The roots of that tree runs deep deep deep
pulled deep down to where the water is
It is well watered
Oowee…

Again
On Christ the solid (metamorphic) Rock I stand
ALL…. (igneous and sedimentary) other ground…

omg
igneous – fiery (haha look at that temperament) oowee


sedimentary – carried away and left for something to get stuck in (omg LOL wow)

ALL Other Ground is sinking sand

sinking sand – soil that loses strength and cannot support the weight.

OMG
aka a person that doubts (James 1:6-8)

ALL other ground is sinking sand
