In Psalm 52:8 it states "But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever."
Did you ever wonder why the color of the olive tree would matter? Well you wouldn't be the only one if you did. The green tree is the emblem of prosperity. It has been kept unharmed like a green and flourishing tree that would have been in the courts of the sanctuary. And most importantly it is safe and under the care and the eye of God. That is why the Psalmist and us desire to be the green ones. Knowing that the steadfast love of God is able to be acknowledged when we are in God's care.
