"Jeremiah 17:6 -- Whom to Trust?
"Buy two identical plants in a nursery. Plant one in a desert, and one by a river. For a few days, they'll look alike, but what happens after a few weeks? That's the image Jeremiah uses. The person who trusts in human beings will end up like a shriveled bush (Jeremiah 17:6), while the person who trusts God will be like a tree that has its roots sunk deep beside a stream (Jeremiah 17:8).
"TRUST
"Married people make it their business to remember how love began. Anniversaries recall their wedding day, year after year. Wedding rings remind them of their commitment. Wedding photos capture the moment when 'two become one.' In remembering the beginning of their love, couples often find new hope for the future.
"The book of Psalms remembers too. When things get bad, these poems often refer to the past -- particularly to the great events when, under Moses, the Israleite nation began. God freed the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, carried them through the Red Sea, gave them directions for living, and ushered them into the promised land.
"The historical psalms (77, 78, 105, 106) invite us, along with the Israelites, to relive history. Like married couples remembering back, we can recall God's work -- his powerful victories recorded all through Scripture, his promises and proofs of love toward his people. And we can refer to God's history with us as individuals, too. Who cannot count some blessings, some undeserved favors? Through such remembering we are strengthened to face to future, and to recommit ourselves to trusting God's care." -God's Words of Life
