Flourishing and blessing # 2
June 16, 2022
Flourishing in God’s eyes means being planted in the house of the Lord. Psalm 92: 13. We’re not focused inward on our own smarts, our own strength, our own resources. And we’re not one size fits all in how we flourish. Scripture speaks of us like palm trees and cedars of Lebanon.
Palm trees are not like cedars. Palm trees produce branches that are symbols of victory. Cedars are known for longevity and resistance to decay. Palms prefer tropical climates and have shallow roots and like some shade. Cedars like full sun. the oldest in Lebanon is about 3000 years old. Palms very in age from 80—250 years. Thank you Lord for illustrating well that differences are good. Whether palm tree or cedar, flourishing people are different.
