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.

Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice.

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.

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
