How To Thrive!

Send us Fan MailHow We Thrive “But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.” - Psalm 52:8A brief web search reveals that olive trees live for a long time and are able to be and remain productive even under harsh circumstances. The psalmist declares that our trusting in the steadfast love of God enables us to be like these trees. This contrasts with the folks in the previous verse “who would not take refuge in God but trusted in abundant riches and sought refuge in wealth!" It is true that we all need money and material resources to survive in this world. But no amount of money can ever make us thrive. We thrive when we live lives rooted and grounded in the steadfast love of God in communion with others who are doing the same. When conditions are rough and life gets tough, who and what will we depend on to see us through? If our primary focus is on money and power we will discover that we will not thrive even if we get them. On the other hand, if we live our lives trusting in the power of God’s love to sustain us, we will thrive and be productive anyway. I’m Horace McMillon.
