David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 31st May 2025
Myrtle is a flowering tree common to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. The variety known as “common myrtle” is possibly the one mentioned a half-dozen times in the Old Testament. Its infrequent mention can be contrasted with the significance of its message in the contexts where it appears.
When the prophet Isaiah first began to speak against the sins of Israel, he said that God would turn the bountiful land into a land of briers and thorns (Isaiah 5:6; 32:13)—an obvious image of judgment. But then, as Isaiah’s message shifted to one of restoration after the Babylonian captivity, he said that the briars and thorns would be replaced by the cypress tree and the myrtle tree (Isaiah 55:13). So the myrtle became an image of peace and prosperity as God restored the land.
Let the myrtle tree remind you that God’s peace and blessing are always on the other side of restoration from sin.
Every breach of peace with God is not a breach of covenant with God.
