Jeremiah 17:8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
This is a description of how good it is to trust totally in God. Once we take the step to fully trust in Him, we are able to see so much more.
Growing by the Living waters of God gives us the nourishment we need for our spiritual growth with Him.
The strength we gain is compared. Not to a shrub or plant, but a tree; a flourishing tree being fed constantly.
The tree did not just happen to be there. It was planted there for a specific reason!
