Verses from Jeremiah

“但倚靠耶和华，以耶和华为他所信赖的，这人是有福的。他必像一棵树，栽种在水边，树根伸进河里；炎热来到，并不害怕，树叶仍然繁茂；在荒旱之年，它不挂虑，并且不断结果子。””

耶利米书 17:7-8 

““But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.””

Jeremiah 17:7-8 

Trust. Can we trust in God? Is the Lord really faithful? While we may wish to have been alive when Jesus walked the earth or Jeremiah spoke fearlessly God's hard truth, we are especially blessed to be alive today. 

We stand at the end of an incredible stream of God's work. We can look at history and know Him to be profoundly faithful to His people. We can launch out into the future with boldness because we know God is already there. He has never changed, He is always faithful to us, even when we have not always been faithful to Him.
