Jeremiah 29:11 and Me

The chronicled details of the one goings in my world and thoughts... Or more simply put...My life as ME

Wednesday, May 24, 2006

I read this scripture at church tonight...and it made something click on the inside of me. It taught me alot about fear and doubt in that moment of reading it.

The scripture is Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.

8 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."

We were challenged at church to insert our names...make it personal, so i read it this way...

I am blessed, because I trust in the LORD, and I find my confidence in him.

I am like a tree planted by the water, that sends out its roots by the stream.
I do not fear when heat comes; my leaves are always green.
I have no worries in a year of drought and I never fail to bear fruit.

Its ambitious yes, but in that there is no fear or doubt, it leaves me completely leaning on God.
