Trees represent life to most of those who live in My homeland, Israel. Today is the celebration of Tu B'shvat which is a day when many people in Israel are planting trees. It is the celebration of the new year of trees.
The prophet Isaiah wrote that we are called trees of righteousness, the plantings of the LORD. My ministry while I was on earth is described in Isaiah 61:3: To appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified.
I rejoice over you with singing and the trees are clapping their hands in praise because you believe in My sacrifice for your sins. I died on a tree so that you can become a tree of righteousness. Rejoice with all those in Israel who are planting trees on this TuB' shvat.
LEVITICUS 19:23-25; ISAIAH 61:3
