John Owen (1613 - 1686)
If you notice up in the heading to this blog, the subtitle is Flourish Like the Palm Tree. That phrase is taken from this passage in Psalm 92:
The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

they flourish in the courts of our God.

he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
(Psalm 92:12-15 ESV)
