It’s like a mustard seed that, when sown in the soil, is smaller than all the seeds on the ground.And when sown, it comes up and grows taller than all the vegetables, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the sky can nest in its shade.”

And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment,so that you can approve the things that are superior and can be pure and blameless in the day of Christ,filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

So now you are cursed, alienated, from the ground that opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood you have shed.If you work the ground, it will never again give you its yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

Let us strive to know the Lord. His appearance is as sure as the dawn. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the land.

And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone, just as we also do for you.May He make your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.

These are the records of the heavens and the earth, concerning their creation at the time that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.No shrub of the field had yet grown on the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not made it rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground.

He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but man cannot discover the work God has done from beginning to end.

He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

For as the earth produces its growth, and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

Planted in the house of the Lord, they thrive in the courts of our God.They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green,

There is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven:

The Lord God caused to grow out of the ground every tree pleasing in appearance and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden, as well as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God.

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

Then God said,“ Let the earth produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.” And it was so.The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
