An Olive Tree

There are a lot of answers in this psalm for what troubles us:

“But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.” Psalm 52:8-9 

Do you see it?

I think, “I’m nothing.”

He says, “You’re like an olive tree flourishing...”

I think, “I’m afraid.”

He says, “Trust in my unfailing love.”

I think, “My life looks hopeless.”

He says, “Put your hope in my Name; it is good.”

Let’s stand on that today.

Lord, I will trust in You. You have said it and I believe it. Thank You.
