Bibledoorajar Desires the Stature of a Palm-Tree

The King likens the returning bride's stature to a palm-tree. This is a good thing because in the Bible the palm tree is always associated with spiritual good and with the delight that comes from good. The palm tree is stable, growing deep in desert soil. One might say the bride was a statuesque lady greatly to be admired. The King was ready to climb up and partake of her fruits.

Today, in our Bible class we were attempting to get our students to understand that we cannot work or earn our way to heaven but that our King loves it when we bear fruit. Our good works have a wonderful aroma to Him and fruit that we produce because we are truly His and want to serve Him is the best fruit of all. Its' fragrance cannot be surpassed as far as our King is concerned. And just think, how varied and interesting the fruits are to Him as they come from His bride in whom He is so well pleased!

I'll choose to be a palm tree this week, how about you?
