Topic: Psalm 92:13 [John Hagee Devotional 1 July 2020]

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God

Many today have rejected assembling together with the body of Christ (Hebrews 10:25). They have been wounded by this imperfect collection of people that are the family of God.

Throughout His Word, though, God encourages us to plant ourselves in His house. In the Old Testament, His glory rested atop the mercy seat, and He met with His people in the unsurpassed beauty of Solomon’s Temple.

In the New Testament, the bodies of His believers became His temple. The newly-formed church in Acts met together every day – sharing all their resources, encouraging one another with songs and scriptures, and building up one another in their fledgling faith.

Today, God continues to work in and through His church. Only arrogance presumes to say that we do not need one another. No one person can comprehend all God’s truth. No one person possesses the ability or gifts to reach everyone in this wide world.

Each one of us is a lively stone in the house He is building. We must take our place in His body so that together, we can accomplish all of His purposes. Plant yourself in His house. Put down deep roots. Intertwine your heart with those who fervently love Him. Planted together, we will bear fruit.

Blessing:

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. Plant yourself in the house of the Lord. As you submit to His Word and worship with the family of God, may you be built up in holy faith in the name of Jesus.
