Faith Christian Assembly

The Bible says that “those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God” (Psalm 92:13, New Living Translation). Everyone wants to flourish. Believers can look at this verse to get a better idea of what it means to flourish and how to do it.

Church-goers know that the church building is often referred to as the house of the Lord. In the original language, the Hebrew word used here for house can also mean household, which makes it it inclusive of those who attend. Next, the definition of the verb plant means “to put or set in the ground for growth.”

Another translation of this verse reads, “they are transplanted into the Lord’s own garden and are under his personal care” (The Living Bible). These translations provide a picture of what regular church attendance can be for “those who are planted.”

When believers are planted, they experience growth through the word of God, relationships and part community. Church is so much more than people sometimes think of it. Some may have experienced church as an obligation or duty or a place with rituals and rules, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a supernatural exchange that takes place when people go to meet God in his house alongside his people, in the freedom and joy that God intended.
