”blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord” [Jeremiah 17:7(RSV)]
December 31
”blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord”. It is worth referring to Jeremiah to see God’s assurances to those who put their trust in Him.
1. Like a tree planted by water – never suffering from drought.
2. Sending out roots by the stream – the more it spreads the more nourishment it finds.
3. Not afraid of oppressive heat because its leaves are always green.
4. No worries in the year of drought because it draws its strength from a heavenly supply.
5. Ever bearing fruit.
And note that it is trust in the Lord evidenced by a confidence in Him that secures these.
