This week's passage gives a similar image to that in my "winds of adversity" blog, and also in Psalm 1. Jeremiah 17:7-8 says: "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. He 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." In this passage, it shows that the secret to not fearing when heat and drought come is to be firmly rooted in our LORD. In my life, I have found that to be true. As my roots grow deeper, the more I am able to trust HIM through the trials that come my way.
