He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

Your promise is that I will live in the Righteousness, Peace, and Joy that is life in the Kingdom, guided by the Holy Spirit. As the leaves of the tree will not wither in the harsh arid winds, neither will my life wither in the onslaught of tests, trials and temptations. The fruit of the Spirit will mature in due season.
