Nothing Can Hold You Back
“The righteous shall
flourish like a palm tree...”
(Psalm 92:12, NKJ)
Have you ever seen a palm tree in the midst of a great
storm? That tree may be bent so far over that it’s almost touching the ground,
but when the wind finally stops, that palm tree bounces right back up. What’s
interesting is that while that palm tree is hunched over under the pressure of
the storm, it is actually growing stronger?
The reason God said we’d flourish like a palm tree is
because He knew there would be difficult times. He knew things would come
against us to try to steal our joy and victory. God said, “You’re going to be
like a palm tree because when the storms of life blow, you are going to come
right back up stronger than before.” Nothing can hold you back! No weapon
formed against you will prosper.
As you reflect on the events over the last year, remember,
the storms you have encountered have only made you stronger. You are wiser, you
are more alive, and you are headed for victory. You’re brightest days are right
out in front of you! Always remember that with God on your side, nothing can hold
you back!
