One day as I awoke, I went to make my morning tea. I had my cup and tea bag ready when I noticed I hadn't turned the kettle on. Sure, the kettle wa plugged in but... not turned on.
In a sense that is what I am doing when I go about the day reading my bible but not claiming a particular promise from God's word. As I claim these versus of Scripture as a believer in Christ Jesus, like the kettle, we are already plugged in.
By claiming the promises in the scripture we are like flicking the "ON" switch on the kettle. It now allows the power to heat the water. In the same way as energizing God's promise to work in our lives.
Mathew 7:7 "Ask and it shall be given; seek, and ye shall kind; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
Help me Lord to be not only plugged in but to be turned on;
What a difference even one person can make when you flick the siwtch to God's promises. :)

Like a palm tree
The rightous shall flourish like a palm tree. psalm 92:2
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebenon.
They say a palm tree grows from the inside out. The bible says out of the belly (as revised standard version out of the heart) shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:38
Out of the heart or inside out shall flow our relationship with God. An extraordinary one is my desire. Why compromise for mediocrity. When God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Spirit were brought together to make God personal to you and me.
A palm tree can be well over 60 feet high with branches spreading out a great distance. We to can grow in God by believing and repeating Gods word in our hearts.
Mathew 19:26 says; "With God all things are possible to Him that believes."
I can do all things through Christ who strengtheth me.
Philipians 4:13.
Our spiritual branches will be spread out. We will grow tall and our roots will be strong like to palm tree.
God definitely does work through the trials in our lives. He's slowly shapening me and my family into lights for His glory. Praise God!
By Renewing our minds on the inside, He is touching many people on the outside. :)
