Spiritual Refreshment, Day by Day  A.  With the start of Summer, many of us are spending time working on lawns and flower beds.  1.  By God’s creative design, the plants around us need light, water, and good soil in which to grow.  2.  Without these natural elements, our best landscaping efforts will ultimately be wasted. B.  Using Psalm 1 as our guide, let’s spend a little bit of time meditating on the spiritual refreshment we  will need day by day to make the most of our God-given time and avoid wasting this season of life.  PSALM 1 ¨  Do you need to do some____________________?  Þ  “Blessed is the man who_________not in the counsel of the wicked” Þ “nor____________in the way of sinners” Þ “nor_______in the seat of scoffers”  ¨ Are you getting the____________that you need?  Þ “but his delight is in the law(or___________________) of the LORD”  Þ “and on his law he meditates day and night”  ¨ Are you getting the_____________that you need?  Þ “He is like a tree planted by streams of water” Þ “that yields its__________in its season”  Þ “and its leaf does not____________” ¨ How receptive and healthy is the_______of your heart? Þ “In all that he does, he_______________”  Þ “The wicked are not so, but are like__________that the wind drives away”  ¨ How is your one and only God-given life being shaped, day by day?  Þ “Therefore the wicked will not__________in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous” Þ “For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish”
