No matter the storm, tremors, quakes and hurricanes that this ‘dunya’(World)
brings us, God brought us here not just to survive but to Thrive...
Aside its deep rooted nature, it feeds on water, air, sunlight and other conducive atmosphere as
its nourishment.
We WERE and are made to #FLOURISH...And this is the lesson we pick from the
*Palm Tree* today.
_Trees generally snap, or at least lose a few branches, when faced with
hurricane-strength winds. Not palm trees. These staples of the tropics
typically bend during gusty weather. For starters, unlike traditional trees,
palm trees are not made of wood. "Instead, you'll find a jumble of spongy
tissue, scattered instead of arranged" inside a palm..._
_Most trees lay down rings as they grow every year. But not the palm tree;
some of its cells are malleable, and others can easily flex and then return to
their original position. [Its] lack of conventional structure is what gives the
palm its flexibility and makes it supremely adapted to the gentle island
breezes that periodically coalesce into ruthless hurricanes,"_(Helpful site

Aside its deep rooted nature, it feeds on water, air, sunlight and other conducive atmosphere as
its nourishment.
The bible says in Psalm 92:12-15 :The righteous will flourish
like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;planted in the house
of the Lord,they will flourish in the courts of our God.They will still
bear fruit in old age,they will stay fresh and green,proclaiming, “The Lord is
upright;he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”
SO I SAY: I pray that you will be firmly rooted in the Lord such that whether
it is the changing times or the wicked storm you will stand firm, adapt well
and even flourish in it all like the Palm tree. (Word Study & Prayer has
always been the ‘trick’)
