My dear friend, Marjorie, sensed the Lord wanted to give me a Bible verse recently filled with encouragement.
“But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God's unfailing love.”
Psalm 52:8
At first glance, I first thought the verse said: “But I am like an olive tree, striving (not thriving) in the house of God...” Whaaaattt???
Oh…my gosh. The Lord expounded Marj’s word – His Word – to me in a split second…with humor, to boot!
So, let’s think about this. Are we currently striving and trying to make circumstances or people do what we want them to? What is coming to your mind right now?
It is time to let Jesus do the heavy lifting, and place what we are working so hard at squarely in His hands. Then, let’s watch how our hearts and lives thrive in Him.
