Rooted in God 2 Carolyn a Roth

Like us, plants groan under the impact of sin in the world. They wait in eager expectation for a new earth to be revealed. Most people are unaware that the Bible mentions over 125 different plants. Yet, Holy Scriptures contain no excess information or "filler." Every scripture is given by God's and is valuable for instruction in holy living. Whether a fruit tree, cereal grain, or thistle, each plant has a purpose in Bible stories. Plants had meanings in ancients' lives, and that meaning extends to Christian lives of 21st individuals. We can learn, or perhaps refused to learn, Godly lessons from Bible plants.
