Psalm 1:6 He’s saying that if you meditate on God’s Word, you will succeed in your obedience to it. You will produce the fruit of the Spirit in your life, and sometimes we feel that is not the case. But this is a promise that Scripture gives us. Dear Christian, if you ever feel stuck in your spiritual walk, so to speak, be assured that the Holy Spirit is working in you, slowly but surely, you are becoming more and more conformed to the image of Christ. As a child may eventually come up to parents and say, “Mommy, daddy, I don’t feel like I’m growing, I don’t feel like I’m getting taller!” Send them to the back wall, pull out your pencil, and reveal to them how much they’ve grown. In the same way, God brings you to back wall of His Word, so to speak, and shows you how much growth there is to be done, but at the same time how much growth has already taken place. Praise God for His gracious gift of sustenance and life and growth in our lives.
