Take a seed the size of a freckle. Put it under several inches of dirt. Give it enough water, light, and fertilizer. And get ready. A mountain will be moved. It doesn’t matter that the ground is a zillion times the weight of the seed. The seed will push it back

Never underestimate the power of a seed.

It amazes me that Nonliving seed when it burried on the ground ,it breaks out and will have a new life, and it grows and becoming a fruit bearing tree, or giving beautiful flowers. It’s a miracle

• A seed is a gods answer to our needs

• When you say, I have a need, God says I have a seed and this will meet your needs

When we look at an apple, wee see how many seeds are there, but When Gods looks at, he sees how many apples are there In the seed

Gods way of seeing things are diffrerent.

Seeds can be carried by wind, animals, or water to where they will eventually grow. Once the seed finds the perfect place to start the growing process, it relies heavily on the nutrients it has brought with it from the parent tree. The right mix of water, light, warmth, soil, and nutrients the seed will sprout, and send its first stem up and its first root down—becoming a seedling.

According to the latest statics there are over 3 trillion trees growing all over the world. That means that there are 422 trees for every person currently living on our planet. The Four largest countries with trees are:

• Russia – with 642 billion trees (146 million – 4,397 trees per person)

• 2. Canada with 318 billion trees (38 million – 10, 027 trees per person)

• 3. Brazil with 302 billion trees (213 million – 1,418 trees per person)

• 4. USA with 228 billion trees (331 million – 689 trees per person)

I think it is easy to say that God loves trees. Why else would there be over 3 trillion trees growing around our planet.

The Bible is full of passages that speak about trees. More than 35 different trees are specifically mentioned in the Bible.

Trees appear in the first chapter of the book of Genesis and in the last chapter of the book of Revelation. And we all know about some very important trees:

A. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in Genesis 2:17

B. The Tree of Life – Revelation 22:14

MANY SIGNIFICANT EVENTS THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE HAVE INVOLVED TREES.

• Sin originated from eating the fruit of the Forbidden Tree.

• The first clothes “or covering” were leaves from a fig tree.

• God promised Abraham a son, under an oak tree.

• Elijah was depressed and suicidal, under a juniper tree.

• Aaron’s rod of an almond tree, budded & produced fruit.

• The Ark of the Covenant was made from an acacia tree.

• Absolem got caught hanging by a tree

I. GO DEEP

Root is a vital part of a tree

If we want to grow healthy, we need to plant ourselves in the right spot; in the right environment

As long as the roots are healthy, the trees also healthy. But an uprooted tree was a dead tree.

We need to be grounded in deep values and ethics if our society is to survive.

We need deep roots

Root-The part of a plant buried in and gaining nourishment through the ground.

I. Deep roots in the right place

Before President Garfield was elected our 20th President, he was a professor and president of Hiram College in Ohio. One day he was approached by a parent who wanted to know if there was any way the course of study could be simplified so that his son might be able to go through by a shorter route.

“Certainly.” Garfield replied. “But it all depends on what you want to make of your boy. When God wants to make an oak tree, He takes a hundred years. When He wants to make a squash he requires only two months.”
