Ever wondered why God put so many trees on earth? I think I have finally figured it out.
It's Isaiah 55:12 "...and all of the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Not only do the trees add beauty to the earth for us and provide us with natural resources (just for my economic students) but the trees exist to give praise to God. It makes me proud that Georgia has the 2nd greatest number of pine trees of all the fifty states!
Can't you just picture a couple of the tallest pine trees clapping their needles together and giving each other "knuckles" and "high fives" in praise and honor of the One who created them? Hey - maybe those "knuckles" and "high fives" are how the pine combs end up on the ground! What a thought!
So every time you see a tree swaying in the breeze (or a pine comb on the ground!) remember they exist for God's glory and return the glory back to Him. And guess what? So you and I are created for the same reason! Give up some clapping and high fives today in honor of the One who is worthy!
