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.

Whoever Trusts in the Lord Is Kept Safe

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. — Proverbs 29:25

God asks us to trust in Him.

He will keep us safe when we trust Him.

If we put our trust in people, they will fail us.

If we fear mankind, we'll be trapped in the devil's snare.

But our Lord will keep us safe.

Helping us lie down in green pastures.

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.

Happy Birthday!

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. — I Corinthians 13:6-7

Yesterday we went to a wedding, and this was one of the Scriptures read during the service.

We had such a fun time with friends old and new.

Here's Kirk holding baby Joseph, who's just as content as can be.

Today we celebrate Kirk's birthday.

An amazing father, husband, friend, brother and son.

Wishing him the best day ever!

Kirk's love, similar to God our Father's, always protect, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

It rejoices with the truth.

Whoever Trusts in the Lord Is Kept Safe

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. — Proverbs 29:25 

Putting our hopes in humans will turn out to be our downfall.

But if we trust in the Lord, He offers to keep us safe.

To trust Him in all things is what's hard at times.

I can trust Him in some things.

Select things that I chooses to turn over.

But there are other things I don't want to let go of.

That's where I've started to create a snare.

But if can trust the Lord completely, I will be kept safe.

What a blessing!

Love Never Fails

Trust 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. — Jeremiah 17:7

Our family trusts in the Lord.

We put our confidence in Him.

Here I am last Thursday at my last appointment in the chemo suite at Kaiser.

I haven't had chemo since July, but I have been having a Herceptin I-V every three weeks.

This is Hazel, the sweet nurse who helped me with my final I-V.

She and Jesse were able to find a vein after the fourth try.

Hurray! The entire nursing staff were wonderful.

Kirk drove me to my appointment.

Because of the Coronavirus, he was not allowed to come in with me.

They even posted security guards at the door and gave me a wristband to show that I was okay to go in.

Another nurse, Rosana, took my picture since Kirk couldn't be there.

She had been my nurse many times over the past year.

I trust in the Lord.

He has brought me through this year of cancer treatments.

He has supported me with caring friends, coworkers, family members, and neighbors.

I am blessed and thankful.

Trust in the Lord

Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. — Psalm 40:4

Blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.

God is our God and there is no other.

He cares for us beyond anything we can ask or imagine.

Blessed is the one who trusts in Him.

Blessed are we who trust in God.

Like a Tree Planted By the Water

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. — Jeremiah 17:7-8

I trust in the Lord, and he has blessed me.

I don't always have confidence in him, but I'm working on that.

When I'm grounded in the Lord, I am firmly planted on solid ground.

God gives me good food in its season.
