Those who are planted in the house of the Lord

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord

"Those who are planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God." Psalm 92:13

The trees of righteousness planted by the Lord are fair to look upon, even in the Church below. They are not, indeed, at all times alike, they have their winter as well as summer—but their vitality abides, and they bring forth their fruit in their season.

When the winds of adversity blow upon them, they strike their roots more deeply—they take a firmer hold of the truth and faithfulness of the Lord.

By-and-by they will be transplanted to the heavenly garden—to the paradise of God, and will flourish in perpetual vigor and beauty, to the praise of Him who has planted them.

O Lord, remember me with the favor You bear unto Your people; refresh me with the dew of Your blessing, and cheer me with the sunshine of Your favor. May I be "a tree of the Lord—full of sap." Make me to flourish like the palm-tree, and to grow like a cedar in Lebanon. May I be rooted and grounded in Your love, and bring forth the fruits of righteousness to Your praise.

Back to Every Day!
