Psalms 92:12 TPT
God the creator of heaven and earth and all its living organisms grow live according to his will. He speaks life and creation is formed. In Genesis we see God speaking all things into existence. In the Gospels, we see Jesus speak death, and a fig tree is cursed, shriveled up and dies. At the sounds of Our Creator's voice, demons tremble, mountain shake, sickness is healed, deaf can hear, dead are raised. God hold all Power and Authority in heaven and on earth. Here in this scripture, the psalmist shares God's ability to Flourish those who love him.
According to the online dictionary flourish (verb) - (of a person, animal, or other living organism) grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way, especially as the result of a particularly favorable environment.
God desires for those who are devoted to him, through word and deed to flourish like the palm trees. He delights in his beloved children's growth, victory and strength. He declares with his mouth according to his will LIFE over us. Such a GOOD GOD! Matchless God! God rejoices in our love toward Him. He loves to hear our praise, our worship and our adoration. He pours out his favor upon those who love him, with a sincere heart.
Like Jeus the bridegroom loves to watch his bride (the church) radiate in glory. The bride longs to make herself worthy to adorn, worthy to proclaim to be His, worthy to become one with Him. The Bride of Christ devotes her love to Him and only Him. Revelation 19:7 (TPT) "Let us rejoice and exalt him and give him glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come. And his bride has made herself ready. "Revelation 21:2 (TPT) I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of the heavenly realm from the presence of God, like a pleasing bride that had been prepared for her husband, adorned for her wedding .
These promises of the bride in the book of Revelation, is only for the remnant, the bride who loves her Bridegroom with all of her heart, mind, and soul. This is the greatest command. We enter into a covenant with our Bridgeroom, that provides an inheritance that is nothing like this world can offer, it's abundant, and everlasting, above all you can ever hope, think or imagine.
He is the Bridegroom, and the bride belongs to him. I am the friend of the Bridegroom who stands nearby and listens with great joy to the Bridegroom’s voice. Because of his words, my joy is complete and overflows!
Matthew 22:37 (TPT) Jesus answered him, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with every passion of your heart, with all the energy of your being, and with every thought that is within you.’
So as a gift of his love, and since we are faultless— innocent before his face— we can now become heirs of all things , all because of an overflowing hope of eternal life.
Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.
Prayer:
Set me apart for you, my bridegroom. I want to be your devoted lover. Set my heart ablaze for you. Grow me into the bride that you died for and that you are coming back for. I want to be your flourishing beloved.
