Unfailing

Psalm 52:8 

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love

for ever and ever.

I read this about an olive tree: The plant is a tough, resilient producer that can thrive under difficult conditions.

I’m sure we can all attest to experiencing difficult conditions at some point during our lives.  But this verse offers hope, in fact it offers a great future to those who trust in God’s unfailing love – we will flourish – which means we will grow healthy in a vigorous way!

So all of the trials and difficulties we experience are not meant to weigh us down and destroy us – quite the opposite!  If we trust in His love which never fails (never) then we will be like the olive tree – one who thrives – one who is resilient.

Instead of chocolates and candy, consider reading up on olive trees, and pop a few olives in your mouth as a snack in the coming weeks, as Valentine’s Day approaches, as a reminder of his unfailing love.
