Meditate On
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes;
but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor
will cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7–8
Be
The Blessed Man
Who wouldn’t want to be the blessed man
described in Jeremiah 17?
In both good and bad times, the blessed man
thrives and reigns. He is like a tree planted by the waters, with its roots spread
out by the river. When the heat is on—when the competition heats up or when
there is a financial drought—he doesn’t fear or worry. His “leaves” remain
green, in other words, he stays young and fresh. And he continues to be
fruitful—always succeeding and seeing the desired results, whether in his
business, career, family life or ministry!
How do you enjoy the blessings of the
blessed man? You look not to man but to Jesus alone.
Looking to Jesus is to
meditate on His Word, His unmerited favor and His gift of righteousness. Begin
to truly put your trust and hope in Jesus, instead of in your own strength or
other people. Then, get ready to thrive and be bountifully fruitful whether
times are good or bad!
