June 19 – Trees
Why are trees round and not square? If we had a square tree, think of all the time and effort we would save when sawing them into lumber! Let’s pause and think, why our Creator made trees round and not square?
- Wood layers grow outward from the center in all directions.
- Cylinders provide maximum strength against stresses in all directions.
- Round trees can bend more easily than square-sided trees when a wind is blowing.
- Round trees can bend in all directions; square trees would be more vulnerable to breaking at the corners.
The best design for trees is round; if that were not true, telephone poles and light posts would be square and not round. Sometimes, we overlook what is so common in nature, like why a tree is round. But when we stop and consider it, we see a wonderful design that gives glory to our Creator.
Numbers 14:21
KJV: But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
NIV: Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the Lord fills the whole earth,
