Walking down the road, I noticed a tree growing in an arid, dry cracked ground, without water and looked withered and brown. I saw a man came, and attempted to break the branches. They were so dry that they broke off easily and he took all of them and used them for firewood.
I set my mind thinking.
Another day, we were driving near a stream and I noticed another tree. The branches were greenish in color, full of sap and juicy. It was not easy to crack them.
I remembered the dry cracked branches of the other tree and was inspired with these thoughts:

If we hardly spend time nourishing and feeding our souls and
receiving the Word to nourish us, we can crack up and break down every
easily. A slight trigger can turn on the
trouble and we feel withered and burned out.
When we are well watered and feed our souls spiritually,
stress cannot take us down easily. The
work of the Destroyer cannot crack us and break us and he will eventually leave
us alone.
Chose to live with "your branches full of sap" to
be spiritually strong. Chose ways to
feed and strengthen your soul and spirit.
AMPC: Psalm
104:16: The trees of the Lord are
watered abundantly and are filled with sap, the cedars of Lebanon which He has
planted,
ASV Psalm 92:12-15:
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow
like a cedar of Lebanon;
13 planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish
in the courts of our God.
14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay
fresh and green,
15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
he is my Rock, and
there is no wickedness in him
