The Green Olive Tree

Psalm 52:8

"But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever."

A little background:

To understand this verse, I have been doing a little research since God had revealed to me this verse few hours ago and thus inspired me to make this blog =)...

"To understand this verse might be significant for a person who experiences so much pain, it is necessary to know the characteristics of a green olive tree. This robust tree can live for centuries, even in dry, barren, and rocky places. To harvest the olives in Biblical times, the green olive tree would be beaten with sticks to knock the fruit from its branches. In spite of that, the tree would continue to produce new fruit. The strength of this tree comes from its roots, which go deep into the earth. The green olive tree’s roots are so deep and so strong that they survive even if the trunk is burned or cut down. The roots will send up new shoots, and they will bear fruit. The green olive tree knows how to survive and thrive even in the harshest of environments."

After I read this, there was a desire within me to have that kind of faith, to have the faith that does not doubt and will root on the LORD and remain fruitful despite all the troubles and pain that we have to go through...

AND that is how I named this blog "The Green Olive Tree" =]...

I'm not much of a writer, but I am only hoping that the outpouring of my heart lead by the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the inspiration given by God will become a blessing to those who read it.

"To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen:"

Philippians 4:20
