The Power of Being Planted
Psalm 84:4-7
1. Planted in His Presence
Psalm 84:4 (ESV)
Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! Selah
Psalm 92:13 (ESV)
They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God.
2. Planted in worship
Psalm 84:5 (ESV)
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
“The blessedness of sacred worship belongs not to half-hearted, listless worshippers, but to those who throw all their energies into it. Neither prayer, nor praise, nor the hearing of the word will be pleasant or profitable to persons who have left their hearts behind them.” - Charles Spurgeon
3. Planted for Purpose
Psalm 84:6a (ESV)
As they go through the Valley of Baca
Psalm 84:6a+b (ESV)
As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs;
Springs - A source of life and blessing
Psalm 84:6 (ESV)
As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
Pools – the word is Brakah – which literally means blessing
Psalm 84:7 (ESV)
They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.
