Psalm 103:15
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
Compared to the years that God shares in the Holy Bible our years are like a flower here today and gone tomorrow. Yet even the flower in its season flourishes. There are a few flowers that only bloom for a few weeks sometimes just days, yet their beauty is unmatched. Even though compared to eternity we are only here for a small space of time, we can and should flourish. Do you see that beautiful ray of hope? So he flourisheth.
Some people often have the mindset just to arrive safely to their eternal home. If we can just survive till God comes or takes us out of here. And I truly understand that completely. Yet, the Bible shows us how to live an abundant life. Scriptures teach us how to flourish while we are here on earth. David said in Psalms I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Let’s flourish while we are still living on this earth.
Prayer
Thank You Father for the truth of Your Word. Thank You for blessing me in my short time here on earth. Help me to flourish in my season. Thank You for that last part in verse 15, so he flourisheth. I believe I will see Your hand working mightily in my lifetime. I will not just survive, I will thrive. Thrive in the hard days. Thrive on the good days. Help me God to be that light to others. Help me to teach others through the life I live. Help me to flourish in the sight of others that they as well will flourish in their own lives. I may be here today and gone tomorrow but, I’m going to flourish with all my heart. Amen.
