It is like a mustard seed that when sown in the ground, even though it is the smallest of all the seeds in the ground–when it is sown, it grows up, becomes the greatest of all garden plants, and grows large branches so that the wild birds can nest in its shade.”

And I pray this, that your love may abound even more and more in knowledge and every kind of insightso that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ,filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

For I am sure of this very thing, that the one who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

So now, you are banished from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.When you try to cultivate the ground it will no longer yield its best for you. You will be a homeless wanderer on the earth.”

This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created– when the LORD God made the earth and heavens.Now no shrub of the field had yet grown on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.

God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time, but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart so that people cannot discover what God has ordained, from the beginning to the end of their lives.

He is like a tree planted by flowing streams; it yields its fruit at the proper time, and its leaves never fall off. He succeeds in everything he attempts.

For just as the ground produces its crops and a garden yields its produce, so the sovereign LORD will cause deliverance to grow, and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations.

Planted in the LORD’s house, they grow in the courts of our God.They bear fruit even when they are old; they are filled with vitality and have many leaves.

For everything there is an appointed time, and an appropriate time for every activity on earth:

The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow from the soil, every tree that was pleasing to look at and good for food.( Now the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were in the middle of the orchard.)

When the plants sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

God said,“ Let the land produce vegetation: plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.” It was so.The land produced vegetation– plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. God saw that it was good.
