Ezekiel 47:12
And by the edge of the river, on this side and on that, will come up every tree used for food, whose leaves will ever be green and its fruit will not come to an end.

The beginning of the world started in a garden with 2 sin-filled people, but it will ultimately end in another garden with forgiven people from every nation, tribe, and tongue. No more work, no more pain, and no more suffering. All your needs will be provided for, and you will be blessed. What an incredible future for those who have chosen to make God their King.

Genesis 1:30
And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.

Every single day, every living thing needs nourishment. Animals need food, plants need light, even microorganisms need microscopic proteins to fill them. And the only One who cares or knows the needs of every living thing is God. He makes sure each one is taken care of and He has since the beginning. And if He takes care of them, how much more will He take care of you?

Psalm 23:2-3
He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the quiet waters, He restores my soul.

We all want a time of refreshing from God, but in order for that to be accomplished, you need to be able to lie down and rest. God knows what you need, and He promises a quiet place for you even in the busiest of times. It might not be in the quiet waters, but it will be a place that makes you breathe a little deeper and see a little more clearly. The question is: are you willing to lie down and receive it?

Proverbs 11:28
He who puts his faith in wealth will come to nothing; but the upright man will be full of growth like the green leaf.

In the times that we’re living in right now, I think it’s easy to see that you can’t put your faith in money. When every single thing you need costs more than it did 2 years ago, you realize money just won’t last. But the upright man trusts in God and sees that everything he has is from Him. So, whether it’s a time of plenty or a time of want, you can trust that God will see you through it, because He knows all your needs.

Jeremiah 17:8
For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

This is a great reminder that when you are saved, God takes you and replants you. He takes you from the dry ground of the world, into a fertile place where you can’t help but grow. In good times, hard times, lush seasons, and even dry ones, your leaf will continue to be green because it doesn’t depend on you to make it grow, it depends on God.

Matthew 5:23-24
If you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Did you know your relationship with others is directly connected to your relationship with God? So much so, Jesus instructed the Jews to prioritize reconciliation over worship. Because when you can show the same grace and forgiveness to others that you, yourself have received, that’s when you become a true worshiper of God. That’s when His heart is your heart.
