Scripture
Jeremiah 17: 7-8 “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit.”
Observation
They key to this passage is placing my trust and confidence in Jesus. If I place my hope and confidence into Him I will:
1) Be blessed
2) Be like a tree planted by a riverbank. My roots will be deep.
3) I will overcome worry during difficult times.
4) I will prosper and be successful.
Application
Life is not that complicated. During times of intense heat and drought, I need to trust God. I need to put my confidence into Jesus and not my own efforts or others. Jesus is my answer. He is all I need.
Prayer
Teach me. So many times I fail at this. I get overcome by worry and anxiety. Teach me to trust you at all times. Today I place my confidence in you.
