DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 22:1-38; Proverbs 19; James 3 to 4:12
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8
Even in drought this tree bore fruit. What was the secret? It was planted by the streams of water. So too, we spiritually need to sink our roots deep into the living water. Even when drought comes, our leaves will be green and our fruit will not fail. —Johannes Bruwer
I’m singing “Hallelujah,” safely anchored in my soul,
I’m planted where the living waters flow;
I’m resting on His promises; the blood has made me whole;
I’m planted where the living waters flow. —Ina D. Ogdon
