Jeremiah 17:7,8
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters.
Faith is my mighty weapon! It makes me unmoveable when the tempest is rising! It keeps my eyes on the Lord, when the ground under my feet begins to give way. It reminds me that the Lord is my Shepherd, and that He is Lord over my situation.
The floods of ungodly men can’t move me when I rest in faith. No weapon formed against me can cause me to take my eyes off Jesus, when I allow God to bind those waves of doubt and fear.
I’m unmoveable as long as I trust in His Word. I’m unmoveable as long as I abide in faith. Without Him, I can do nothing. Without Him, I would fail. . . I’d be like a ship without a sail.
Lord, keep planting me in situations where I have to believe you, when everyone else is looking to society, and money and power for contentment.
I know I can’t have two masters, so I’m choosing to believe and trust in You, and in You alone. I’ll let nothing move me from loving You, trusting You, and living for You, Jesus! Therefore, no matter how many seasons I have to resemble a stunted little tree, I know that my leaves are not going to wither, I’ll bear fruit, and whatever you have given me, shall prosper!
You’re my Hope, and I know I won’t be ashamed! I’ll receive double for my trouble! Hallelujah!
