. . like a flourishing olive tree . .

Psalm 52.8
I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I trust in God's faithful love forever and ever.

Beth Moore says:
I believe God can do anything His Word says He can do. So if He choose not to, I don't have to assume He does not like me, doesn't answer my prayers, hardly knows I am alive, isn't willing to do it, or is still punishing me for that sin in my past --- or that I don't have enough faith and am just making a fool of myself. Instead, I get to KNOW that a greater YES is in progress, and I can count on the bigger miracle.

Michelle comments:
WOW --- oh how this blessed me so. Oh Lord, last night at church, you reminded me of many miracles that have transpired in just this past week and yet, you know I prayed for more. Oh Lord, to see that family in worship and freely loving you and praising you for restored relationships, for freedom from drugs, and for some much needed happiness . . humbles me so. Oh Lord, to see all the ones that traveled that far . .just to hear your music, to worship you, and to be in fellowship together . .was again, another blessing. And to sit next to the one you have called me to love .. even though it seems like he is still holding onto the world . .to know that YOU know YOU love him more than anyone can . .is again, so humbling. Thank you Lord, for being the one in my life that never fails. And Lord, thank you for teaching me that when the miracle . . . has not come yet . the better one is around the corner. You are an amazing and wonderful God. Your promises are always true. You want what is best for anyone. You know and want to bless me with every wish, every want, and of course every need. Thank you Lord. I will hold onto your precepts . .I will declare your name to all that come across my path, I will live for you no matter what. I thank you for dying for me. I thank you for taking those nails . .may I never be so full of you that I don't want more . .I want to be empty of everything and be filled with only you and I want you to spill over. Amen.

Beth goes on:
Beloved, we are safe with God - free to believe He is who He says He is and can do what He says He can do. Neither His dignity nor ours is at stake. We are safe with Him because we are HIS priority.

Michelle says:
