Psalm 92 says that the righteous, which is those of us who are Christians, shall flourish like a palm tree. I often wondered why the Bible said palm and not apple or oak. Below are a few things I’ve learned recently about the Palm Tree.
Palm Trees bear good fruit. Coconuts, dates, and more; Palm Trees are sources of several superfoods. God is saying that we will produce fruit that will bless others in multiple supernatural ways.
Palm Trees also make for fantastic building materials. The branches are a very common shade, and their trunks make for excellent home frames. God is saying He can build the best homes with us. We are the temple of God, but we are also the Church, the Family of God, Vessels, and much more when we allow Him to shape us into what we were meant to be.
Palm Trees are great air filters. These trees get rid of dust and other really small stuff that I don’t know the names of. God is saying that we change our environment. When the world throws things at us, God, through us, will change that thing for good.
Half of one verse can reveal many promises of God. A larger quantity of Scripture you study is fantastic! But to meditate on even a couple words is enough to reveal a lifetime of wisdom. This is not because the Bible is just a well written book. These are the words of God.
“Light, Be!” Two of God’s words created light.
“Peace, Be still!” Two of God’s words (in Hebrew) calmed stormy waters and made them instantly like glass.
“Be Cleansed.” Two of God’s words instantly removed all disease from a man, grew his fingers back, brought his hair back to a normal color, restored all his skin, extracted every infection.
“It is finished!” [Technically could have been] one word of God, cleansed all sin, sickness, and shame from every man, in every place, at every time, forever.
His Words are powerful, yes?
How much more His name.
