When asked what he would do if he knew the world would end tomorrow, Martin Luther said, "I would plant a tree."
The power of God is present at all places, even in the tiniest tree leaf.
The fruit does not make the tree good or bad but the tree itself is what determines the nature of the fruit. In the same way, a person first must be good or bad before doing a good or bad work.
How rich a God our God is! He gives enough, but we don't notice it. He gave the whole world to Adam, but this was nothing in Adam's eyes; he was concerned about one tree and had to ask why God had forbidden him to eat it.
For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant.
No other God have I but thee, born in a manger, died on a tree.
