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!
BLESSINGS
