In the sermon on Psalm 92, Robert Bosley emphasizes the imagery of being planted in the house of the Lord, likening it to a tree planted in fertile soil, which signifies spiritual nourishment and growth for Christians. The psalm, a song for the Sabbath, highlights the importance of the Lord's day, where believers gather, listen to the Word of God, and partake in ordinances and means of grace. This setting provides the necessary nourishment for Christians to grow and remain faithful, despite external challenges.
So in the psalm the idea is that they're planted in the house of the Lord. The preceding verse is the image of a palm tree or a cedar that's been planted in the ground. So the imagery here is of the man or woman of God is like this tree planted in the ground in good soil that's going to grow and it's going to be a fruitful tree. The Christian is planted in the house of the Lord. The Christian finds their spiritual nourishment, what they need to grow in God's house, in the things that pertain to the worship of God.
And the subtitle for the psalm is, it's a psalm for the Sabbath day. There's a centrality on the weekly Sabbath in this psalm and that should be true of us as well. A focus on the Lord's day, seeing the importance and the centrality of gathering with God's people on the Lord's day, sitting under the preaching of the Word of God, participating in the ordinances, the different means of grace, receiving all these things. This is how the Christian is going to be planted. This is how they're going to be nourished.
This is how they're going to be nourished, this is how they're going to grow. And in spite of whatever is going on outside the walls of the church, outside the house of the Lord, what's happening in there is what they need and what will truly nourish them and help them to grow and be the faithful believer that they are called to be.
