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!

Psalm 118:29 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

What better thing to do on a Sunday than go out to your local church and celebrate the fact that Jesus is alive!

Praise God for all He has done, all He has promised and all we have to look forward to.

Celebrate we have a living, loving and merciful God who is always willing to show us more life, love and mercy.

And there is no end to His mercy – because it is endless and forever!

Psalm 118:28 You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You.

David was under no illusion about God. He may have forgotten his duties toward God and set aside his praise from time to time, but he knew God was God!

For all the promises God had made to his descendants, David was thankful and tried never to forget them.

These sort of words come from the heart and allow us to see just how much he did love God.

It does not mean David was perfect; far from it. But he loved God and showed us all!
