A Tree Planted

Scripture:

Jeremiah 17:7-8  "But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.  They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; Its leaves are always green,  It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit".

Observation:

The one who trusts and has confidence in the Lord is told here that they will be blessed.  It says they will be like a tree planted by water.  They will have strong roots and doesn't have to fear when heat comes.  It is always producing, even in drought and difficult times.

Application:

When we fully trust the Lord and walk in His ways, we can be confident that He will take care of us.  We will see the blessing of following Him.  Even during seasons of drought, we will not be shaken or moved.  We will be able to walk through whatever life throws us and still produce fruit,

Prayer:

Lord God, help me to walk in trust and confidence more and more.  Teach me Your ways and help me to know You more intimately every day.  I want to completely trust You instead of leaning on my own ways and ideas.  Help me to hear Your voice and follow.

Yours,
Jeff
