"Which Yields Its Fruit in Season" – A Bible Sermon

Text: "He 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." (Psalm 1:3, NIV)
Introduction

Psalm 1 paints a vivid picture of a righteous person—rooted, fruitful, and prosperous in God’s timing. The imagery of a tree yielding fruit in season teaches us about divine timing, faithfulness, and spiritual growth.
1. The Righteous Are Planted by God’s Design

A tree doesn’t plant itself—it is intentionally placed by streams of water.


Similarly, God plants us where we can thrive (Jeremiah 17:8).


Application: Are we resisting God’s placement, or are we trusting His wisdom?
2. Fruit Comes in Due Season

Trees don’t bear fruit year-round—there’s a season for harvest.


God’s timing is perfect (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Impatience leads to frustration; faith leads to fulfillment.


Example: Joseph waited years before his purpose unfolded (Genesis 37-50).
3. Leaves That Do Not Wither – Sustained by God

Even in drought, the righteous remain nourished because their roots go deep into God’s Word (Psalm 1:2).


Challenge: Are we drawing life from God or from worldly sources?
4. Whatever They Do Prospers – God’s Blessing on Obedience

Prosperity here isn’t just material—it’s spiritual vitality and Kingdom impact.


True success comes from delighting in God’s law (Joshua 1:8).
Conclusion: Are You Bearing Fruit in Season?

If you feel like you’re in a waiting season, trust God’s process.


Stay rooted in Scripture, remain patient, and expect God to bring the harvest at the right time.

Closing Prayer:
"Lord, help us to be like the tree planted by Your streams, yielding fruit in Your perfect timing. Keep us faithful, patient, and deeply rooted in You. Amen."
