Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Have a monumental Tuesday!

Hi George,
I hope everything is well. I so appreciate your ministry. As I read these words today I’m reminded that the Lord spoke these very things over my life. It is so good to be reminded, as now there seems to be such a shifting in my relationship with the Lord. He is revealing so many things to me, which at times, leaves me breathless. What a blessed reminder that he said I would be as a tree planted by the waters and I don’t need to fear when the heat comes. Thanks for seeking the Lord and sharing His Word with us every day. God bless.

This came at a perfect time, when many essential things have broken and money is in short supply, and the tunnel seems dark.
A timely reminder that the Lord takes care of his own.
