But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.
Psalm 52:8
Olive trees are very symbolic within the Bible. The first time the olive tree is mentioned in the Bible, a dove brought back an olive leaf to Noah after God had flooded the world. The leaf offered Noah hope, life, and in a way, light. The olive tree is significant because much later the high priests would use olive oil to worship the Lord by anointing and making lamps for light. The olive tree brings a message of hope, life, and light. What kind of message do you carry with you? Psalm 1 teaches that those who take delight in the Lord are like trees who are planted by streams, but those who take the path of the wicked are chaff in the wind, who will perish, (Ps. 1:2-4). The only way to be a green olive tree for others is to live in the steadfast love of Christ!
With Much Love,
Pastor Chris
