properly. “The waters” in the Scripture above, refers to a stream or a channel of water as used in irrigation. The blessed man is like a tree planted beside the waters. Always remember that your location is important; your location has to be conducive for growth. This is where the day and night, or the habit factor is critical.

As you keep at it day and night, you are transplanting those sacri:ices that you made out of a sincere heart. Continue transplanting your seeds, and that picture, as long as you did not allow your canvas to become stained and polluted, will become a reality.
Your Productivity Is Guaranteed
