Trust in God's love

I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

Psalm 52:8

A tree stands in the courtyard.  Immovable.  Unshakable.  With roots deep in the rich earth, drawing strength, support, and sustenance.

An olive tree is evergreen.  Always alive, always growing, limbs spreading and greenery flourishing.  That was how David pictured himself as a child of God.  The question of his place in the world had been settled.  He would trust in God's love forever and ever.
