Blessed Is the One Who Trusts in the Lord

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. — Jeremiah 17:7-8 

As someone who trusts in the Lord God, I am blessed.

My confidence is in the Lord.

And He promises that I will be like a tree planted by water that sends out its roots by the stream.

The tree doesn't worry when it gets hot.

Its leaves are always green.

It has no worries in a year of drought.

Likewise, when I feel tired, dried out and weary, I too should not worry.

That tree never fails to bear fruit.

My life can bear fruit when I put my trust in Jesus my Lord and Savior.

Blessed Is the One Who Trusts in the Lord

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. — Jeremiah 17:7-8

The person who trusts in God has deep roots.

Their confidence is in the Lord.

They are like a tree planted by the water.

It sends out its roots by the stream.

Because it is connected to its source, it doesn't worry about what to do when the heat comes. 

It drinks freely of the water so its leaves are always green.

It doesn't worry when a year of drought comes along.

And it continues to bear fruit.

Blessed Is the One Who Trusts in the Lord

“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.” — Jeremiah 17:7-8 

We who trust in God are very much blessed.

Our confidence is in the Lord.

We are like a tree planted by the water.

Our roots go out to find refreshment so they can grow deep.

We continue to thrive and grow, even in tough and rocky times.

When we feel discouraged or our hope is dried up, God sustains us.

He prunes us so we can bear His good fruit.

The Lord helps us to thrive.

The Lamb Will Be Their Shepherd

‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd. — Revelation 7:16-17

In heaven there will be no hunger or thirst.

The sun will not beat down.

There will be no scorching heat.

Jesus, our Lamb will reign.

He reigns now and forever.

He will be our shepherd.

Praise God!

Yesterday Abby and I went over to Coronado and had a fun day at the beach, 

Wandering through the shops, seeing all the Christmas trees still up, 

Having lunch, and enjoying our day off.

We Do Not Fear

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. — Jeremiah 17:7-8  

Those who trust in the Lord are like a tree planted by the water.

It does not fear the heat.

I have no need to fear since God is with me.

It's leaves are always green.

God keeps me nourished so I can grow in Him.

It has no worries in a year without rain.

I don't need to worry since God will guide and direct me, even when things look bleak.

It never fails to bear fruit.

I can keep sharing the love of God with others.
