"For he will be like a tree planted by the water,This is the description of someone who trusts in God. I'll admit, the first thing I feel is shame, that this doesn't really describe me. I certainly don't feel that I have that confidence in God to the extent described here. I worry, and I fail to do what I should, and I know I'm not as productive as I could be.
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.
The second thing I feel is awe at someone for whom this would fit. To have that complete confidence, and that unabating source to pull upon, would be so nice. I wonder if I fail to have it because I look to much as the short-term, without an appreciation for the larger picture where God is working for the best?
