Jeremiah, Chapter 17, Verse 7-8
7 Blessed are those who trust in the LORD; the LORD will be
their trust. 8 They are like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out
its roots to the stream: It does not fear
heat when it comes, its leaves stay green; In the year of drought it shows no
distress, but still produces fruit.
I live in Arizona where hardly anything
grows in the desert. However, along a stream or a creek, trees do put their roots
into the bed of the water and create a mini paradise with flowers, deer that provide sustenance even during the hottest days. Likewise we should sink our roots into our
Lord through our church and receive refreshment through frequent reception of
the sacraments of Confession and the Eucharist; along with spiritual reading
and time alone with our Lord. In this way we are nourished and prepared for the
work our Lord has given us.
