Two Trees

In an early Sunday morning muse, there I was, in a huge forest of trees. It had the feel of being in a world filled with people, ever increasing year after year. Notwithstanding, there were two trees that stood out more than all the rest. I was then reminded of two contrasting trees I have read about in the Bible. The Psalmist David spoke of 'the wicked' being in great power, SPREADING themselves like a Green Bay Tree. Another Psalmist said that 'the righteous' shall FLOURISH like the Palm Tree. And then I prayed to the Lord Almighty. O God, may the wicked cease from spreading. And Lord, let me be among the righteous who flourish like the Palm Tree. 100424PS (Green Bay Tree)Ps. 37:35; (Palm Tree)Ps. 92:12
