Things Righteousness Compared To - 2

>Trees

Psalm 1:3

That person is like a tree  planted by streams  of water, which yields its fruit  in season and whose leaf  does not wither— whatever they do prospers.

Psalm 52:8

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust  in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.

Jeremiah 17:8

They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

Hosea 14:6

his young shoots will grow. His splendour will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.

> City on a Hill

Matthew 5:14

“You are the light of the world.  A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.

>Wheat

Matthew 3:12

His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

Matthew 13:39

>Salt

Matthew 5:13

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Thought 

Abe, I’m going to leave you now and I shall not return.  I want you to be kind to your mother and live as I have taught you.  Love your heavenly Father and keep his commandments. - Thomas Lincoln’s last words to nine-year-old son Abraham Lincoln
