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
Alicia and I have enjoyed working on improving our yard this spring. Just the other day, I planted several Leyland’s Cypresses and a Weeping Willow in our backyard. I planted the trees on Good Friday and we had gotten several inches rain the night before here in Knoxville. The ground was so saturated, it made digging the holes for the trees easy and I didn’t need to water them because there was so much water in the ground. It got me thinking, just like picking out the right spot for trees to have optimal growth, we too need to plant our roots firmly around God’s Word and will for our lives.
If you are like me, you have no problem turning over the bigger issues to God. That’s great, but God wants us to trust Him with every detail of our lives. When we focus on our circumstances, we take our focus off of Jesus Christ. We must learn to keep our focus on God’s presence at all times, during every circumstance, every moment of the day.
Jesus made the ultimate love sacrifice to save us from certain death and He can be trusted in every facet of our lives!
