Every body hates ups and downs! God even hates it although He knows that it’s part of our nature. Ups and downs are like this: Today things are good I love God, I love people and I love life; tomorrow things are a little tough I hate life, I hate people and I’m not sure of God’s love!

On the contrary God speaks a lot about faith and about faithful people (righteous) as: steadfast, single minded, single hearted …etc.

In today’s Q.T. it says: “The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Psalms 92:12

The palm tree and cedar are STRAIGHT! They don’t bend even with a huge storm (temptation); you can knock it down but you can not bend it. God’s way does not change …God is always the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. God is the truth and the truth can not be bent.

Our heart needs to be straight first before our actions. Our conscience needs to be straight first and doesn’t bend. This will only happen if we hold unto the Lord ALWAYS …hold unto His word day and night …hold unto Him in the midst of temptation …ask Him before asking myself or the devil … go to Him before going to any human being.

Get the seed of doubt of the mind before it grows …get the seed of sin out of the heart before it grows to action.

Palm tree and cedar are always green, very tall, very strong, live long …basically they are a land mark! So as the faithful who always witnesses to the Lord …he is a tower that every one sees and praises God.

Are you a palm tree, cedar or grass?!
