Sweeter As The Days Go By!

A sweet thought, especially to my Senior Saint friends…❤️

🌴“In Scripture, the palm is always the date palm, stately and beautiful. It has extremely deep tap roots—called a root ball—and thus can flourish even in the desert, growing tall and living long. It is perhaps the most useful of all trees, not only producing dates, but also sugar, wine, honey, oil, resin, rope, thread, tannin, and dyestuff. Its seeds are fed to cattle and its leaves are used for roofs, fences, mats, and baskets. Its fruit is said to get SWEETER as the tree grows older, and this is compared to the believer in a beautiful verse:

“Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing” (Psalm 92:13,14).

May God enable each of us to flourish like the palm tree—beautiful in the Lord, useful in His service, bearing good fruit to His glory, even into old age!🌴

❤️“Other trees, when they are old, leave off bearing, but in God’s trees the strength of grace does not fail with the strength of nature. The LAST days of the saints are sometimes their BEST days, and their LAST work is their BEST work.”❤️
~ Matthew Henry
