 Psalm 1Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers; 2 but their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law they meditate day and night. 3 They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper. In reading this Psalm today i was moved to remember the song Stand like an Oak by one of my favorite music artists Rising Appalachia. Here are the lyrics to the song. Sometimes we all need to hear that we are strong like a tree: Stand like an oak An aspen An alder Its in you, dont faulter And if so than i got you Fake it, walk taller Anything that makes you feel smaller Leave it by the angels of the water Push em up push em up Put away your cares Fold them, fold them Fold up your fears He said come to this river Give me your arms Lean back Theres nothing to be alarmed of He said the more i know The more i dig And the more i return to myself Around every bend Push em up push em up Put away your cares Fold them, fold them Fold up your fears  This coming Sunday will be in person and livestream We have returned to in person worship.
