TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS by Douglas Rose Even a cursory glance at a Biblical glossary clearly reveals that the Creator of the universe places great importance upon trees of many different kinds, roughly 23 species can be found in Scripture. In one instance, Isaiah 61:3 says:" The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called Trees of Righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified." As I research this colorful tree theme in scripture, I see many comparisons in the men and women of the Bible to the growing of trees. Psal

m 1:3 says people of God will be 'like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper. Wow! What a promise to those interested in being Trees of Righteousness!
