No Worries

Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord and whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord. For he will be [nourished] like a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river; and will not fear the heat when it comes; but its leaves will be green and moist. And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought nor stop bearing fruit. (Jeremiah 17:7-8, AMP)

I love the imagery that this passage of Scripture creates in my mind.  I want to be that tree planted by the water, who never fails to bear fruit for the Lord.  Let’s take a look at how this can be done!

“But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.” (Jeremiah 17:7)

The Lord’s Counsel

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

and on his law he mediates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water,

which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither.

I am the vine; you are the branches.  If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:5)

What’s God doing in your life?

Yes, it’s that time again!  Some of you have let me know that you enjoy this time.  This time to reflect back on all that God has done or is doing in your life.  I thoroughly enjoy reading how God has been faithful to you.  And I even enjoy the questions about how to handle the tough times with God.  The times that don’t make sense.  God’s faithfulness doesn’t always come neatly packaged.  So as you look back this week, can you see that God is still on the throne?  Can you see that He is still in control?  Can you see that your circumstances are not too big for God?  Can you see that quite possibly, He is working behind the scenes?  I would love to hear how God is working in your life!  Feel free to drop me a line and let me know how I can embrace this journey with you! 

I missed writing to all of you this last week.  It was a busy week for me, as I watched my little brother graduate from Basic Training.  I enjoyed hearing all about his experience in the Army and watching him blossom into a man.  I’m so very proud of him and can’t believe that I have the distinct honor to be his sister!  I praise God daily for my siblings and all their accomplishments.  I’m so blessed to have 4 amazing brothers and sisters!  What are you praising God for today?
