Verse from Jeremiah

“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‬ ‭17:8‬ ‭

“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 ‭17:8‬ ‭

The Bible tells of many people who waited by faith despite adversity. Noah waited for delayed rain. Caleb waited forty years to live in the promised land. Rebekah waited twenty years to conceive a child. Jacob waited seven years to marry Rachel. Simeon waited and waited to see the baby Jesus. Their patience was rewarded.

In contrast, those who look to humans “will be like a bush in the wastelands” (Jeremiah 17:6). But “blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,” rejoiced Jeremiah. “They will be like a tree planted by the water” (vv. 7–8).

The trusting stay planted in God—the One who walks with us through the joys and adversities of life.
