Topmost Tree

In Genesis, we learnt, intriguingly, that God made trees not first

because of any utilitarian value, but simply because God likes
trees. True, they are good for food but before that they are
pleasant to the sight(Gen 2:9). Those who trust in the Lord are
like a green olive tree in Gods house (Psalm 52:8) and the
beauty and wonder of trees makes them surprisingly erotic
images in Song of Songs (2:3, 7:7-8)

Trees are sufficiently majestic attractive that God can say I am

like an evergreen cypress (Hosea 14:8). The Bible Poetry of
trees will allow Jesus to speak of the kingdom as a great tree
that grows from a tiny seed (Mark 4:16-34)

Happily, in my opinion, I see God as the Topmost Tree, The
Vine, The Great Cypress and believers as his branches. In our text (Ezekiel 17:22-24), we find a ray of hope: top
shoot of the tree, planted by God on high & lofty mountains, destined to be a place of rest and shade for every kind
of bird. Now, all trees of the field will know that he is the lord. I realize the great reversals of this text (bringing low
the high, making high low) freeing Gods people from the hands of oppressors.

God can do all things, I declare:

1. You shall be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, for your leaves
shall remain green. In all that you do, you shall prosper (Psalm 1:3)

2. You shall be like a tree that grew large, strong and visible to the ends of the
earth (Dan 4: 11-12)

3. You shall be a green olive tree in the house of God (Psalm 52:8)

4. You shall flourish like a palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon (Psalm
92:12)

5. You shall stay fresh, green and still bear fruit in old age (Psalm 92:14)

6. You shall live long because the Bible tells us For as the days of a tree so will
be the days of my people, my chosen one will enjoy the work of their hands and Tree planted by the river
will not labor in vain (Isaiah 65:22b-23).

Did you know when trees fall on trees, the topmost tree must first be removed before others? Your next question is
Why? Because it is useful and can reproduce another tree

Every plant my heavenly Father has not planted in you will be pulled up by the roots (Matthew 15:13). A thousand
may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand but it will not come near you (Psalm 91:7 In Jesus Name
