Today’s Reading: Jeremiah 17:5-11
Today’s Verses: “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.” Jeremiah 17:7 KJV
There is so much happening in the world today.
We hear of tragedies. There are reports on health matters. The way we manage our resources.
We all can have a moment. A sense of hopelessness.
The good news is, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is” (Jeremiah 17:7 KJV).
The Lord has promised a blessing for those who put their faith in God. For those who put their complete trust and confidence in Him.
The Prophet Jeremiah uses the powerful image of a tree with deep roots by a stream. How it remained standing even though the waters continued to flow against it.
It illustrates that we have the power to endure. We have the power to persevere. We have the power to maintain faith through hardships.
That we are not avoiding suffering. That faith is our foundation. Our help in the time of trouble.
We know that God has taken ownership over our lives. We have a spiritual connection. We trust our inner authority. We recognize our own divine worth. We support each other.
Everything we go through is a path to spiritual maturity and strength. It has a divine purpose. One that rewards those who cherish Him.
It is a spiritual discipline that teaches us to draw strength from God. Knowing that He has promised to never leave us.
If we trust in the Lord, we will not fear tough times. Our spiritual roots are strong in God’s care.
We must continue to believe that God has a plan of peace for our lives. That He has a divine future for those who trust Him. That we will “bear fruit” even in hardship.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Savior, we know there will always be times of struggle. We do not need to fear during challenging times. The more we stay rooted in the Word, our faith grows stronger. We become like a tree with deep roots by a stream. We will have spiritual roots. Found in Your provisions. Thank You for being our strength. We put our trust in You. We want the blessings You have promised.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
