Sunday August 22-Pslam 1 continued -v3 And he shall be like a tree planted by running streams

Verse 3
Think of Matthew 15 verse 13 "Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up."
there is only one tree that can be found by the valley of the Jordan, but too beautiful to be entirely passed over. It is the oleander, with its bright blossoms and dark green leaves, giving the aspect of a rich garden to any spot where it grows. It is rarely if ever alluded to in the Scriptures,may be the tree planted by the streams of water which brings forth its fruit in due season and whose leaf shall not wither. This is a symbol of the tree of life for the Jewish people.
A tree planted by rivers of water- an allusion to the Eastern method of cultivation by which rivulets of water are made to flow between the row of trees, and thus by artificial means, the trees receive a constant supply of moisture.
Continuing the verse"whatever he does prospers" -a critical journal has shown that instead of "Whatsoever it does shall prosper"the rendering might be"Whatsoever it produces shall come to maturity. This makes the figure entire and is sanctioned by some MSS and ancient versions.
Also this last clause,"whatever he does prospers- thought-Outward prosperity, if it follow close walking with God is very comforting; as the cipher, when it follows a figure, adds to the number, though it be nothing in itself.
