and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
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.
Jeremiah 17:7, 8
I love fall. This week I took my day off to drive north to see the changing of the leaves. This fall the colors were gorgeous. The yellows, reds, and even the various shades of browns were beautiful.
The Bible is clear that when we put our trust, hope, and confidence in the Lord we are like leaves that will always stay green, producing fruit. Even in times of heat and drought we can remain strong. We need to plant the promises of God deep inside of our hearts. We need to become so convinced of God’s promises that no one can talk us out of it.
This week meditate on the promises of God for your life. Begin by believing the promises found in Numbers 6:24-26... God’s blessing, protection, grace, favor, and peace. When you plant the promises of God in your heart you will reap the abundant life God promises.
