Which yields its fruit in season

But I want fruit now. 
I want to always be on top of my game, creating, producing, shining, doing. 
I like the results of contemplation, reflection, planning. 
I just am not a big fan of being inside the process. 

Lectio Divina ( sacred reading) of Psalm 1 today. 
I know this Psalm. 
There won't be anything new. 
The righteous vesus the wicked. 
I choose righteous. 

In first reading, I see the righteous tree yields its fruit in season. 
A modifying phrase I never noticed. 
In season. 

It is okay to float, to relax, to let time slip by. 
Fruit will come when it is ready. 

A relief. 
Be still Sara. 
Know that He is God. 
Know that He is in charge. 
Trust Him. 
My fruit will come, in its season. 



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.
4 Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff
    that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
