flourishing

"But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love forever and ever. I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope for you name is good." Psalm 52: 8-9


Flourishing... I wonder if David really felt like he was flourishing on this day. A day when he was clearly aware of the wickedness of man. It is refreshing to know that I am flourishing in the house of God though I feel like I am soaking in a stagnant and tepid puddle. To know that the Lord's love is without fail -- That is something to trust in -- lean upon. And to have the ability to hope in something that is good -- his NAME.

Flourishing: (Hebrew transliteration: ra`anan) to be or grow luxuriant or fresh or green [ http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H07488&Version=kjv ]


I love the color green...
