on the way...with God's promises

In my morning devotion time, I never know what to expect from the Lord.  :) This week, Psalm 92 brought a wonderful surprise, a promise to be trusted and treasured at this point in the journey.
Those who have been replanted in the Lord's house will spring up in the courtyards of our God.  They will bear fruit even when old and gray; they will remain lush and fresh in order to proclaim:  The Lord is righteous.  He's my rock.  There's nothing unrighteous in him.
(Psalm 92:13-15, CEB)
First, we recognize that the promise is true, fruit will appear, not because we are good, but because the Lord is righteous. 

Then and only then, the replanted proclaim with confidence born of faith in the true and living God:  'He's my [our!] rock!'

Thank you, Jesus.  Now the way seems much easier!
