Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and
have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the 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.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
A mentor once told me to “be like a tree, grow slowly, strongly, with deep roots in the Lord. Learn to blow in the wind, bending, unbreakable.” Those who trust and put their hope in the Lord are able to bend, when the winds of trials blow strongly. They remain peaceful and joyful, in all of life’s circumstances!
I find that those times when I am not focused on you Lord, when I look away from you and to the worldly things, I loose my peace and become shaken. But, when I am focused on You- I am happier, stronger, peaceful, and unshaken, the way you made me to be.
Prayer:
Lord, your promises are true and praise worthy. I put my hope and trust in you. Help me to keep my eyes and heart focused on YOU!
~Amen
