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
I enjoy working on improving our yard each spring. A couple of years ago, I planted several Leland Cypresses and a Weeping Willow in our backyard. I came across an old photo of the kids playing in the yard and couldn't help but notice how much the trees have begun to grow. It got me thinking, just like picking out the right spot for trees to have optimal growth, we also 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!
