Be Planted In His Presence To Flourish

Showers To Flourish Us

"May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth."

Men who have to care for us may be thoughtless or even hard on us. But God pursues after us passioantely (v.11), to feed us to the full, relish us, make us flourish and give us ease and safety.

Flourish Without Friction

Flourish By His Grace, Take Root With God

"I will be like a dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon he will send down his roots."
Hosea 14:5

We need the downpour of God's grace to survive and grow. But God does not pour down His grace and favor once for all, but day by day so that we are renewed each day and feel refreshed. This favor should help us demonstrate His pure love and fragrance to others around and keep us deep-rooted with God so that we can never be moved by any trials or tribulations.
