Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
8 They shall be like a tree planted by water,
sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
and it does not cease to bear fruit.
- Jeremiah 17:7-8, NRSV
This verse came to my attention this morning and I had to pass it along.
I love the idea of sending our roots deeper when the time of drought comes.
Human connection and social interaction have always been sources that keep me fed and help me continue to bear fruit.
But sometimes those sources dry up. Sometimes the time of drought comes. But instead of becoming fearful and shriveling up, what does it look like to send our roots deeper… in search of the Living Water that never runs out?
How will you do that today?
Blessings;
