God is so wonderful. He first created all the trees and then he uses them to teach us tremendous spiritual lessons.
Let's look at some scriptures first. This 2:9 says the trees were made pleasant to the sight.
Heb. 11:3 the worlds were created by the word of God--He is the creator.
Ps. 104:16 the trees are full of sap and God planted them.
Song 5:15 the cedars are here are called excellent. Although he is using it as a analogy of the temple.
Ps. 52:8 He says I am like a green olive tree in God's house. That was where they got the anointing oil.
Jer. 11:16-17 Now people are refered to as special fruitful trees.
Ps. 92:12 flourish like palm grow like cedar.
Ps. 1:3 shall prosper because like a tree planted by the waters leaves shall be fat and flourishing.
Ps. 37:35 a bay tree has no fruit---this is the ungodly analogy.
These are just a few of many concerning trees. We look like a very special tree when we lift our hands in praise to God. see Ps. 134:2 and 141:2 and 28:2 and 63:4 they all tell of raising the hands in praise and worship.
God takes care of the trees. In revelations he says hurt not the trees. 7:3 and 9:4 only saying that to show he really cares for the earth though he must send his judgements.
May we meditate on the word day and night so shall we prosper Ps.1: We are God's husbandry.--1Cor.3:9.
a tilled or cultivated field. so we can bare fruit. The word of God is like fertilizer to make us grow. new add-- Isa. 61:3 in this verse we have , they shall be called trees of righteousness. I love this--- Romans 11:16 and on, it shows how the gentiles are graffed in ( to the tree). Here is a challenge. I have seen oak tree leaves in the fall, including every color of the rainbow. Is that perhaps a way God is saying we are trees with a everlasting covenant in us? The bow given to Noah was a covenant that was eternal. Jesus blood was called the eternal covenant-- Hebrews 13:20.
Good thought. Thanks for posting.
