The Trees of the Lord Flourish

The trees of the Lord flourish…

I was reading the sixteenth verse in Psalm 104 recently and this phrase appeared to jump off the page at me.

The trees of the Lord flourish…

I was reminded:

Whatever the Lord touches…

Whatever God decides to do…

Wherever God places His stamp of approval…

Whatever God chooses to bless…

Whatever God builds…

Wherever God dwells…

Whatever God plants…

F L O U R I S H E S

God is God and there is no other.

Are you looking for success in life? Are you chasing a dream?

The trees of the Lord flourish…

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3

    I was totally demoralized and was thinking of what to do when I bumped into your inspirational quotes. I believe in it and claim it. Thank you for making my day memorable.

  • Are you looking for success in life? Are you chasing a dream?

    Yup! I believe more or less, almost everyone in this world chase a dream and look for success in life. But, the key to success lies in being spiritually grounded in our life. As Psalm 121 puts it, "My help comes from the Lord…. He will not let my foot slip … the sun will not harm by day nor the moon by night.. The Lord will keep me from all harm and he will watch over my life.." Praise the Lord. What a privilege I have in Him.

    I've written and read quite a bit about the giant redwoods in California, and I've visited them a couple of times too. This devotion brought me back to the reflections that I've had in those experiences. I love the idea of the depth that we can reach as we live and move in God's will. This was a great way to start my day!

    So why did I instinctively click on this link today? What is the message to me? Chance? I think not. Thank you Ron. As a family we are praying for a new home. “Whatever God blesses…Wherever God places his stamp of approval”. We have to trust in his decision. And we will continue to reach, pray and listen.

    What a great reminder to us all. There’s nothing that can stop God from His will being done! Why do we tend to forget this truth?

      Thanks Andrew. I often feel like the wandering in the wilderness Israelites. They quickly forgot the parting of the sea.

    Reading this great post and realizing all of those statements apply to us as followers of Christ. He touches us, dwells in us, etc. That's so cool!

  • Terri says:

    Thanks for Tweeting this. Feel like it was my message from God for today. Fighting a personal battle and have given it over to Him. Trying to listen for what to do. This helps! He's saying hang on some more… you are doing the right thing! Thanks!
