Ecclesiastes 11:3
Ecclesiastes 11:3
In the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.
The tree that falls where it lies is a symbol of the inevitability of consequences. Just as the tree cannot change its position once it has fallen, our actions have consequences that can be permanent. This teaches us the importance of living intentionally, knowing that our choices will leave a lasting mark. While God’s grace offers forgiveness, the effects of our actions often remain. We are called to make wise decisions, to consider the long-term impact of our words and actions, and to be mindful of how we live each day. As followers of Christ, we are encouraged to live with wisdom, humility, and foresight. In the end, we must recognize that every moment counts, and every action has its consequence. Therefore, let us strive to live with purpose, guided by God’s wisdom, making choices that honor Him. In His grace, we are given the chance to learn from past mistakes and move forward with a renewed heart, choosing to walk in alignment with His will.
Song of Solomon 2:1
I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
Luke 12:27
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew 6:29
Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Song of Solomon 2:2
Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women.
