Jeremiah 17:7-8–"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit."
The reality of this verse can be most keenly seen in its converse. When people do not trust in the Lord they have no roots to secure them in times of trouble, no stability when the winds of life blow, and fail to produce lasting fruit of eternal value. But this is precisely what trusting in the Lord means. To trust in the Lord means that we will rely upon Him for our provision, our strength, and our guidance in life. There is no surer Rock than the Lord Himself. What Jeremiah says is still as true as ever. Let us never forget this as we strive to live a life based upon trusting in the Lord.
