Ross Piper: Thrive

Home » Meditations » Meditations » Ross Piper: Thrive

The righteous thrive like a palm tree and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the LORD, they thrive in the courts of our God. Psalm 92:12-13

“Thrive means “to prosper or flourish.” We think it also sums what happens when we take hold of the abundant life found only in Jesus Christ.

But how do we thrive in a world filled with brokenness, stress, and competing demands for our time and attention? We think the vital starting place is to realize that thriving is not so much a destination, but rather, it’s God’s design for us on the journey of life in the midst of all the craziness around us.

We have found that healthy rhythms related to our work, rest, finances, giving, and serving position us to care for our own souls. They also help us thrive in relationships and in community. This enables us to thrive on good days or even the most difficult ones. Sound inviting? We hope so.”

Ross Piper in Thrive: A 30 Day Devotional by Gary G. Hoag and Ross Piper (Rhodes: Christian Super, 2019) 1. I want to thank Ross Piper, CEO of Christian Super, for his vision to work with me to create a resource to help people thrive all over the world.

If you want a short devotional to help you thrive, then this is just the tool for you. Simply reply to this email, and I’d be happy to share a free PDF copy of Thrive with you. I recently co-authored it with Ross Piper. And, yes, it has a Van Gogh on the cover that beautifully illustrates the theme of the book.

Thrive is a 30-day reflective journey that explores a range of real-life issues. Each day includes a Scripture verse, related thoughts, a prayer, and an idea for application. We created it this way because we have found that we don’t figure out God’s way of living until we follow the teachings in His Word in real and ordinary ways.”

When this Daily Meditation posts I will be speaking at the Generosity Summit in Manila. I am giving a copy of this book, Thrive, to each of the 200 people in attendance. I’d appreciate your prayers for Spirit-filled teaching and receptive hearts.
