Faith Christian Assembly
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. 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” Jeremiah 17:7-8, NKJV. Being in the midst of a heat wave brings awareness of the widespread effects of extreme temperatures. When the heat comes, it puts a strain on electrical power, water supplies, and even personal health for those who are susceptible or don’t stay hydrated. In these verses in Jeremiah, God uses the metaphor of heat to illustrate the pressures of life. It can create stress and put pressure on a person’s mental and physical health. When the outside temperatures are brutal, people are limited in what they can do in response. But when the heat comes in a believer’s personal life, there is available an unlimited, ultimate solution.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord…” Believers can trust in the Lord through the trials of life because this is what God tells believers throughout his word. A believer’s own power can never be enough, and ultimately, humans weren’t created to bear the load alone.
Believers were created to trust in the Lord, follow his ways, seek first his kingdom (Matthew 6:33) as the antidote against fear, anxiety and lack. Believers learn of God’s promises and care for people in his word, the Bible.
At Faith Christian Assembly, the teaching is straight from God’s word and full of the instruction, hope and the trust believers can confidently place in him, which is evident throughout the scriptures.
