“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.” Jeremiah 17:7-8a (NIV)
Our verse and promise today is given to us in a word picture - a common way the Bible teaches us truth. We all know what the roots of a tree do to keep the tree alive, to keep it growing and to help it produce fruit and stand firm in the face of adverse winds. A tree planted close to a stream will certainly take advantage of the location. The roots will be there drawing in the moisture provided by the stream which is a sure source of needed water. Our Lord is a sure source of what we need to live the Christian life. So how do we take advantage of what our Lord supplies? By trusting in Him and directing our faith and confidence in Him. The promise is that our faith will serve as our roots to draw strength from our Lord. Let's keep trusting in this promise today and always.
