Those that be planted in the house of the LORD... shall still bring forth fruit in old age (Psalm 92:13-14)
In verse 12 we read that those who live godly lives will be as strong and healthy as cedar trees. The promise does not refer to one's physical body, because we read, even in old age the godly will continue to grow and flourish, living fruitful and prosperous.The psalmist is speaking of the prosperity of one's soul. One might be of strong physical health yet is withering away on the inside!! But a child of may be declining in physical strength and yet be growing and thriving within. The difference is, a cedar-like soul is planted in the house of the Lord. The presence of God, and his Word, will be his strength. God delights in our worship, gratitude and submission not our physical limitations! This fruit is one that we can bear even when our health deteriorates or are confined by weakness. We wilfully submit to you our Heavenly Father, our Sovereign Lord continually to bear fruit!
