One of my daily disciplines is to read and pray through five chapters in Psalms. There are 150 chapters so I get through it each month. I multiply the day of the month by 5 and that is the chapter that I will end with for that day. Today is the 19th so 19 X 5 = 95, so today’s five chapters are 91 – 95. Psalms 92:12-15 was the passage that I took note of and prayed back to God today.

The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Planted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still yield fruit in old age;
They shall be full of sap and very green,
To declare that the Lord is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

I have been fretting a little bit lately about my health and not being able to do anything significant for the Lord with my life. Feeling like my Parkinson’s was coming on like a forced retirement whether I wanted to or not. So this passage became my faith statement in my praying.

Dear Lord, I am claiming this passage as mine from You, Your promise to me for this time in my life. I don’t know exactly what I will be doing for the next ten years if I am still here, but I believe that I will still be yielding fruit. Thank You for using me and continuing to use me in the days ahead. I trust You and am excited to see what doors open up for me.
