3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season . . .

St. Paul said, "One plants, another waters, but God causes the increase."
Fruit naturally comes in its own due season so long as conditions are right. The increase is a byproduct of sunlight, and water, and good soil temperature. A plant grows and bears fruit because life is in it.
We don't need to worry about the fruit of increase. Our job is to remain rooted in soil well nourished by the living water of the spirit. In due course we will blossom and we will grow and bear our fruit, all in God's good time.
