THIN ICE!

Psalm 37:4 – Devotional

Psalm 37:4

“Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.”

I was riding with a Deputy Sheriff in Canyon County, Idaho, when we received an emergency call for a car that had broken through the ice on a local lake.

When we responded to the scene we found the car broken through the thin ice and a teenage girl trapped in the front passenger seat. The icy water was almost up to her shoulders. Fortunately, the car was on the bottom and not in danger of submerging any further, but the girl was close to hypothermia.

There were three other teens standing around the car, but they were almost in a state of shock and were not able to help. Deputy Edwards immediately entered the water and after five or ten minutes was able to free her from the wreckage. Soon an ambulance arrived and the girl was saved – cold, but out of danger.

That particular day the car was driven by a young man who thought the ice was thick enough to support the weight of his car. He was wrong! He relied on his faulty judgment instead of the reality of the situation. Many people today are skating on the thin ice of human reasoning instead of the infallible Word of God. That, my dear friend, is relying on very THIN ICE indeed! Don’t risk eternity!

Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

PLANTED BY THE STREAM​!

Psalm 1:3 – Devotional

Psalm 1:3

“He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.”

This week we have a special new song for you created by Russ Hansen entitled, “Planted by the Stream.” He’d appreciate your feedback on this song–please send it to him at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

Planted by the Stream (inspired by Psalm 1)

[Verse 1]
Blessed is the one who does not walk
In counsel of the proud,
Does not stand where sinners stand,
Nor sit where mockers crowd.
Their joy is in the law of God,
His truth both day and night,
Meditating on His Word,
Delighting in His light.

[Pre-Chorus]
Rooted deep, not drifting wide,
Anchored by what’s true—

[Chorus]
They’re a tree beside the waters,
Planted by the stream,
Bearing fruit in every season,
Living out God’s dream.
Their leaf will never wither,
All they do endures—
Blessed is the one who walks with God,
Standing firm, secure.

[Verse 2]
The ungodly are not rooted so,
They’re chaff the wind will drive,
Scattered when the storm winds blow,
They cannot stand alive.
They won’t endure the judgment day,
Nor in the righteous stand,
Their path dissolves like drifting dust,
Unheld by God’s own hand.

[Chorus]
They’re a tree beside the waters,
Planted by the stream,
Bearing fruit in every season,
Living out God’s dream.
Their leaf will never wither,
All they do endures—
Blessed is the one who walks with God,
Standing firm, secure.

[Bridge]
The Lord, He knows the righteous way,
He watches every step,
But paths that turn from truth and life
Are roads that won’t be kept.
One road leads on to life and peace,
One fades and falls apart—
Choose the way the Lord has shown,
And guard it in your heart.

[Final Chorus]
Like a tree beside the waters,
Planted by the stream,
Rooted in the Word of God,
More than hope or dream.
The Lord preserves the righteous path,
His truth forever sure—
Blessed is the one who walks with God,
Standing firm, secure.

[Outro]
Blessed… blessed…
Planted by the stream.

Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
