Psalms 92:12
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Notice the flourishing of the righteous is compared to the palm tree. There is something unique about the palm tree that the righteous can be compared to it. There are certain qualities of the palm tree that we must emulate. The palm tree is flexible and resilient enough to withstand storms! The palm tree can bend backwards, forwards, and sideways in the face of heavy storms to the breaking point. Yet after the storm, the palm tree is still standing, unmovable, and steadfast.
The comparison of a palm tree to a righteous man – a Christian – as depicted in today’s scripture is not a coincidence. In the face of adversity, the Christian is expected to stand strong. In the face of life’s challenges, like the storms of life, the Christian should not budge but stand solid on the Word of God, rooted in faith. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 declares, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” You are coming out like milk and honey!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life shall be a wonder! When the storm is over, I shall remain standing strong. My life is hidden in Christ; I cannot be destroyed, I will not go under, but stand tall to declare God’s Word! Hallelujah!
