Psalm 92: 12-15
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our GOD. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing. To show that the LORD is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
Psalm 1:3 says that the righteous, who do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the scornful; but delight in the law (word) of the LORD are " like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." I am impressed by the fact that all of Scripture counsels us to "abide" in the house of the LORD. There is plenty of water there for growth and health; there is the atmosphere that is perfect for strength and vitality. It is the perfect place for a soul to grow straight and tall in the LORD.
Those who abide in the LORD and dwell in the House of the LORD, fear not, because the LORD is the "Rock and there is no unrighteousness in Him". To grow up into Christ, you must settle down and abide in the House of the LORD and flourish in the Courts of GOD.
Is this growth for us only, or is there more to this picture? We bear fruit so that others can eat and be saved. The lost and hungry souls, see the fruit of the life of a righteous person and are drawn to JESUS. Many people are saved by seeing glory being given to GOD and flowing from GOD, and are led to JESUS. What is the fruit? It is love, joy, peace, patience, goodness gentleness, meekness, faith and self-control; the fruit of the Holy Spirit of GOD, bursting forth in goodness and grace. People are watching, our life is a witness to the Love of GOD.
ABIDE IN JESUS; SERVE HIM WITH GLADNESS; WITNESS TO HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND GOODNESS.
