Fall Colors: Emerald Green

SEPTEMBER 26, 2020

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
Psalm 23:2

 Recommended Reading: Psalm 23

God chose to clad the earth in green. Genesis 1:30 talks about the “green herb[s]” and Deuteronomy 12:2 speaks of the “green tree[s].” Psalm 23:2 says, “He makes me to lie down in green pastures.” The writer of Psalm 52 said, “But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever” (verse 8). Jesus taught the multitudes as they sat “down in groups on the green grass” (Mark 6:39).

Green reminds us of growth, and we grow the fastest when we sit down on the green grass, as it were, and listen to Jesus. It’s really a lovely scene to contemplate. Imagine Jesus teaching and giving wonderful, life-changing lessons, while you sit on your blanket or lawn chair listening to Him and soaking in every word.

We can do that every day!

Each morning when I went downstairs to breakfast, my father—a busy missionary surgeon—would be sitting reading his Bible. At night, her work behind her, my mother would be doing the same…. So at an early age I began reading my Bible and found it to be, in the words of the old Scotsman, “sweet pasturage.”
