Scripture

The righteous shall flourish like a 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 bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing.
Psalm 92:12-14

Observation

God promises that those who are righteous will flourish, grow and leave a lasting legacy. These things are not found through good works or great leadership outside of total dependence on God who is the only one who can make us righteous.

Application

My heart’s desire should be righteousness. When I strive to be more like God and rely on Him to be my righteousness, then I wil find the prosperity, peace and lasting legacy that I desire.

Prayer

Father, please help me to thrive after you and the things that please you. Let my desires to be your desires and my ways your ways.
