God always causes the Godly to flourish like a palm tree. We grow tall and He transplants us into His own Heavenly garden, so that we are under His personal care (Psalm 92:12-13). King David realized that throughout his lifetime. He never saw a righteous person forsaken or his descendants begging bread (Psalm 37:25). God provides for His children. He also blesses thousands of generations of descendants belonging to those who love and serve Him (Exodus 20:6).
Even in our old age, God uses us to produce fruit and to
remain productive and vital. Our success honors the Lord because it shows the
world that He cares for His own (Psalm 92:14-15). We get acquainted with God’s ways, and we put
our trust in Him. He never forsakes anyone who seeks Him (Psalm 9:10). We hope
in our Lord, because He keeps every promise He makes to us with as much
certainty as He keeps the world He created in perfect balance (Psalm 146:5-6).
When someone threatens God’s beloved, He takes it very
personally (Zechariah
2:8). We are precious in His sight (Isaiah 43:3). God gives justice to the poor
and oppressed, and food to the hungry. He heals the sick, lifts the burdens of
those crippled under life’s weight, protects immigrants and cares for both
orphans and widows. The Lord loves His righteous people and is their defense (Psalm 146:7-9). Those
who refuse to obey Him are oblivious of His wonders (Nehemiah 9:17,31).
We believe in God’s faithfulness, because He always cares
for those who seek Him (Psalm
9:10). Jehovah made the mountains and heavens; and yet, is mindful of
all mankind (Psalm
8:4-6). He gives His angels charge over us, so that we never
stumble or fall (Psalm
91:11-12). He never sleeps, but watches over us day and night. He cares
for us and defends us, keeping us from evil and preserving our life. He keeps
his eye on us as we come and go, and guards us in all of our ways (Psalm 121:2-8).
Prayer:
Father God, we will never forget Your promises, Your
mercy, Your grace or the marvelous works You perform (Psalm 111:4-6). Your loving kindness
is forever and ever to those who reverence You. If we live faithfully in Your covenant
and obey Your precepts, Your salvation is for us, as well as our children if
they will accept it (Psalm
103:17). Your love stand firm forever and you establish your
faithfulness in Heaven and earth and it endures forever (Psalm 89:2, 119:90).
Thought for the Day:
God's will is not achieved by momentary spurts of self-effort, but by a lifestyle of obedience to His loving presence in our life.
