Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early what he praise party. I am Sherry
- 0:03Speaker 1: Nacky and it's time right now for today's word standing stronger.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Psalms ninety two to twelve says the righteous will flourish
- 0:15Speaker 1: like a palm tree. You know, it's Palm Sunday weekend.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where he
- 0:26Speaker 1: was greeted by crowds waving palm branches, marking the beginning
- 0:31Speaker 1: of Holy Week and the events leading up to his crucifixion.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Many churches will have their palm branches to celebrate. They'll
- 0:39Speaker 1: be waving them in the air. So today I wanted
- 0:42Speaker 1: to talk for a second about that palm tree. See
- 0:46Speaker 1: the reason God said in today's scripture that we'd flourish
- 0:51Speaker 1: like a palm tree is that God knew we would
- 0:53Speaker 1: go through difficult times. But here's what's interesting about the
- 0:57Speaker 1: palm tree. When it's been over by the strong winds
- 1:02Speaker 1: during a hurricane. Research shows that the extreme stretching is
- 1:06Speaker 1: actually strengthening the root system and giving it new opportunities
- 1:11Speaker 1: for growth. Hello, somebody, see after the storm, when the
- 1:14Speaker 1: palm tree straightens back up, it's actually standing stronger than
- 1:18Speaker 1: it was before. Come old Jesus, and he said, the
- 1:22Speaker 1: righteous will flourish like the palm tree. That's what God
- 1:28Speaker 1: does for us when we go through difficult times. When
- 1:33Speaker 1: you come out of the storm that was meant to
- 1:36Speaker 1: defeat you, when you straighten back up, you're not gonna
- 1:39Speaker 1: be the same. You're gonna be stronger. You're gonna stand stronger.
- 1:43Speaker 1: You're gonna be healthier. You're gonna be wiser, You're gonna
- 1:46Speaker 1: be better off and ready for new growth. God never
- 1:51Speaker 1: brings you out the same. He makes the enemy pay
- 1:54Speaker 1: you back double for your trouble. The enemy has to
- 1:56Speaker 1: pay for even bringing the times of darkness and trouble
- 2:00Speaker 1: into your life. So don't get discouraged in your storms
- 2:03Speaker 1: and your stretching season. Remember you are like the palm tree.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Your roots are going to be stronger. You're not only
- 2:10Speaker 1: going to still be standing, you're going to be standing stronger. Come,
- 2:15Speaker 1: oh Jesus, Father, thank you for giving us the promise
- 2:19Speaker 1: that because our roots are in you, we will flourish
- 2:23Speaker 1: through the storms. Help us to sink our roots of
- 2:26Speaker 1: faith deeper in you and trust in your faithfulness. God.
- 2:30Speaker 1: We declare that We're going to stand stronger in you
- 2:34Speaker 1: in Jesus' name. Now, that's your word for today. Take
- 2:37Speaker 1: it apply to your everyday life, and you continue to
- 2:40Speaker 1: be encourage and inspired. It's your Early What He Praise Party.
