Genesis 1:12
Genesis 1:12
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
God’s creation is full of life, vitality, and purpose. In this verse, we see how the land brings forth vegetation, which includes seed-bearing plants and fruit-bearing trees. This creation is not arbitrary but serves a greater purpose—providing life and nourishment. The trees and plants are meant to multiply, providing seeds that sustain future generations. Similarly, God’s provision is abundant and ongoing. He doesn’t just meet our immediate needs, but provides in such a way that the blessings continue to multiply. Just as the trees bear fruit with seeds, God’s blessings in our lives are designed to extend beyond us, blessing others as well. This verse encourages us to see the beauty and wisdom of God's creation as a reflection of His provision. He provides for our needs, not only for the present but also for the future, ensuring that His blessings flow in abundance.
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.

For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender branch will not cease.
Song of Songs 2:13
The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
