Like a Palm Tree

Have you ever seen a palm tree during a 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 be 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. 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 from your past, 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 nothing can hold you back! Are you like a palm tree?
