Blessed is the man...
|
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. 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 trees by the edge of our lake beautifully illustrate these wonderful
verses from Jeremiah. They will be green every year because they have
a constant and abundant source of water.
The prophet says that everyone who puts full trust and confidence in God
will be just as these trees—always nourished, always healthy and always fruitful.
This doesn’t work for those who trust partly in God and partly in their own
abilities to make it through life. We must be single-minded to experience
God’s blessing in this way.
But what a reward awaits those who cast all upon Him! At the end of
his life, Joshua was able to say with confidence, "Not one of all the
good promises that the LORD had made to the house of Israel had failed; all
came to pass." (Joshua 21:45) Friend, if you truly put all of
your confidence in the Lord, He has given His solemn word He will never fail
you.
