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."
i find myself having confidence in myself often. and sometimes in God. and time itself will show that the confidence in self will show how artificial it is. and i realise, yikes! what is everlasting? and yes... confidence in God that is everlasting.
the physical evidence, effect or result most likely will hard to see or even not be seen by our human eye or even understood by ourselves.
i find that bit hard. but then, there it goes again. trust in the Master. trust in the Maker of Life.
