📖 The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible].
Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
[Growing in grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality] and [rich in the] verdure [of trust, love, and contentment].
[They are living memorials] to show that the Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
—Psalm 92:12-15 AMPC
As Christians, we are to flourish and prosper. There should be growth in our lives. There should be increase in our lives. If it appears that you aren’t flourishing or that things appear to not be getting better, don’t be moved by what you see. As you continue to walk with God, you can expect Him to transform your life. If you look throughout the Word of God, you will see one example after the next of instances where God never left people the same when they encountered Him. Their lives improved, and they became people of significance. Prosperity comes out of relationship with God. It comes from constant fellowship through the reading of the Bible and prayer. God is our Rock, and He can be depended on. When we build our lives on the Rock (the Word), our house (our lives) will stand regardless of the storm. We will flourish because the Lord is upright and faithful to His promises.
