Jeremiah 17

“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 NIV)

I did one those things where I just dropped my bible of 28 years open and it landed on this scripture I highlighted in orange probably more than 25 years ago.  It's just what I needed for today.  

It's made me recognize the moments where I rely on my self and I get burned out and tired.  When I just keep working so hard to be and do the right things without His help.  The contrast is beautiful (and obvious) as I consider the life that comes from confidence in Him.  Abiding in him.  Trusting him. Like a tree planted by water.  The living water.  Bearing fruit.  I want that. Amen?
