Palm Trees

Palm Trees

1. Palms reach and grow up, not out.
Christians should reach up to God, not out to the world.
2. Palm leaves do not resist the wind, but let it pass through them.
Christians should not resist reviling, but should let it pass.
3. Palm trees are flexible. They bend and straighten.
Christians should be flexible, but not breakable.
4. Palm trees have many roots to hold them securely.
Christians should have a strong foundation.
5. Palm trees dig deep for water.
Christians should dig deep into the Word for more understanding.
6. Palm trees have strong armor.
Christians need the strong armor of God.
7. Palm trees survive the heat, but wither in the cold.
Christians need to endure the coldness of the world just as they endure the heat of tribulation.
8. Palm trees only produce fruit when they are mature.
Christians should be patient and wait for Gods timing.
9. The oldest palms produce the sweetest fruit.
The more trials Christians go through, the sweeter and better their fruits and rewards will be.
When things seem tough and every thing is going wrong, remember the palm tree and know that God is preparing something special for you!
Pain and trouble are with the package because of man’s sin.
God will always make it work out for good!
Romans 8:28
Sweetpea (and the Palm tree family)
