Reading from July 27
Is 50-52; Ps. 92; 2 Peter 1
TOPIC: Flourishing
SCRIPTURE:"The godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted into the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. "(Ps. 92:12-14)
OBSERVATION: Palm trees are known for their long life. To flourish like palm trees means to stand tall and to live long. The cedars of Lebanon grew to 120 feet in height and up to 30 feet in circumference, thus, they were sold, strong, and immovable. The psalmist saw believers as upright, strong, and unmovable by the winds of circumstances. Those who place their faith firmly in God can have their strength and vitality all the days of their life.
APPLICATION: As it happens so many times when I read God's word, I noticed a word that kept on being repeated. That word was the word flourish
