Scripture Text (NRSV)

 

Psalm 92:1-4, 12-15

 

92:1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;

92:2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,

92:3 to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.

92:4 For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

92:12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

92:13 They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God.

92:14 In old age they still produce fruit; they are always green and full of sap,

92:15 showing that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

 

 

Comments:

92:12, 13, & 14 -- In getting a worship
service ready to present at a nursing home, these
verses really stood out. How wonderful to be able
to present that the righteous still produce fruit
in "old age." Their bodies might get
frail but their spirits are "full of
sap." What a great jumping off point.
