Jeremiah 17:7 8

“7) But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.

8)They are like trees planted along a 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 never stop producing fruit.”

When I think of trees, they weather the storms. Some branches are bent or broken but they remain standing. Their roots are planted. When I put my hope and confidence in God through Jesus Christ, I have roots that keep me standing. My faith is my anchor. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8). He does not change.

It is said the only constant is change. In that respect, I am glad that I can hold on to what doesn’t, my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. In my aging process, constantly changing, I hold fast to my faith. I desire to be like the trees, planted by the living water. Trees keep standing because their roots are planted deep.
