TRUST IN GOD

“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. 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 prophet Jeremiah (640-587 B.C.) spoke these words to the people of Judah during a time when they had forgotten past saving events.  Their deliverance from Egypt, the giving of the Ten Commandments, their wanderings in the wilderness and their entrance into the promised land of Canaan were all but gone from their memories.  However, within the sin and judgment that existed, God still offered hope for those who would place their whole trust in Him.
            It’s no different today.  The mental image that Jeremiah paints is the picture a lush tree whose roots have driven deep into the fertile soil by the stream.  It never has to concern itself with withering and dying for its source is plentiful.  So it is with us.  If we drive deep into the word of God and place our full and unwavering trust in Him, then we shall bear fruit and prosper as well. 
            As we look at Israel and their constant rebellion against God’s laws we should see ourselves.  Many times we act like a horse that doesn’t want to be bridled.   We must let go of our unrealistic wants and desires and allow God to have His way in our lives.  Only then will we reach our full potential and bear fruit for the kingdom.  Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
