“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
Dear Christian friend, we are being admonished to make God our source of livelihood. To secure our lives in Him, and to achieve godly success and prosperity, the Christian must consciously and consistently build trust and confidence in God’s word. This act of faith is likened to a tree planted by water. Having God as our source of livelihood will ensure that we survive in all situations, and not live in fear of any unforseen circumstances.
