Flourishing in Dry Seasons

You might look around right now and see nothing growing.

Dreams seem buried. Opportunities feel scarce.

It looks like a desert — but God calls it preparation ground.

“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.” — Psalm 92:12

But who are the righteous?

Not the perfect.

Not the powerful.

The righteous are those in right standing with God — surrendered, forgiven, aligned.

Right Standing Produces Resilience

The desert doesn’t define the righteous — it refines them.

Others may wither under heat; you’ll root deeper into grace.

Because your source isn’t circumstance — it’s connection.

How to Flourish Even Here

• Stay rooted in truth. Don’t let temporary dryness make you question eternal promises.
• Nourish your spirit daily. Prayer, Word, worship — your irrigation system.
• Release control. Flourishing is God’s work, not your performance.
• Bless others in scarcity. Seeds still multiply, even in sand.

The Promise To Hold On To

You will flourish — not because conditions are perfect, but because your position is secure.

Even in the desert, the righteous bloom.

And if you are in Him, that’s you.
