What do we plant when we plant a tree?

We plant the staff for our country's flag;
We plant the shade from the hot sun free,
We plant all these when we plant the tree.

Every tree, every plant, has a spirit. People may say that the plant has no mind. I tell them that the plant is alive & conscious.

The channels through which the water & sap move are the veins of the spirit.

In the Old Testament…God is the owner of the vineyard. Here He is the Keeper, the Farmer, the One who takes care of the vineyard. Jesus is the genuine Vine, and the Father takes care of Him…In the Old Testament it is prophesied that the Lord Jesus would grow up before Him as a tender plant and as a root out of the dry ground. Think how often the Father intervened to save Jesus from the devil who wished to slay Him. The Father is the One who cared for the Vine, and He will care for the branches, too.
