One of the interesting images used in Scripture to describe the godly person is that of a tree. Why would God use trees as symbols of the one who lives the blessed and holy life? In this sermon, Fr. Toms investigates how a tree represents the stable, fruitful life of the believer, and how the life of that “tree” begins and is sustained. The Psalmist and the rest of Scripture demonstrate the connection between meditation on the word of God living a fruitful life.
