“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.”
Psalms 92:12 KJV
Palm branches were voluntarily taken by those following Jesus as they cried, “Hosanna, Blessed is the King of Israel Who comes in the Name of the Lord!” Palm trees speak of uprightness and righteousness of those growing in victory, standing in strength. Those who know that they are righteous only in Christ, are the upright. They don’t allow the storms of life to uproot them as they are rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus. Like the palm they are fruitful because they abide in Christ. It is a beautiful tree and its beauty satisfies the thirsty and hungry who come across an oasis of palm trees in the desert. The palm tree grows determinedly straight even when it has much weight on it. It is nothing much to look at on the lower level but its beauty is seen at the top. Through the finished work of the Cross we have received the gift of righteousness to flourish like the palm tree in the Presence of the Lord Who lives in us. Let’s be righteous in Christ and worship Him in the beauty of His holiness! Hosanna in the Highest!
