are you an olive tree?

Psalm 52

This psalm was written by david, when doeg the Edomite betrayed him and Ahimelech, then killed God's priests. (1Sam 21:7, 22:9-23) Doeg boasted about his actions, thinking that he did well. But accomplishment may not necessary be good, like a skilled liar or someone who accomplishments were built on others' sufferings.

Similarly, we may do well in somethings, but it doesnt mean they are good. We need to check our actions and deed with God and His words, so that we do good, even if we dont achieve as much.

Vs 8, david contrasted himself with doeg, saying that himself is like an olive tree because he kept God's way and praise God. An olive tree is the longest-living tree and they flourishes. This shows God's eternal protection for His righteous versus the destruction of the wicked. I wanna be an olive tree!
