Jeremiah
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD"
Text: Jeremiah 17:7
A WONDERFUL CONTRAST
The Lord gave a wonderfully contrasting word to Jeremiah to meditate on and to proclaim. There are those who would not trust God, preferring to trust man. But there are those who would trust God fully. This word of comfort may be given to them.
“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
