Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the LORD.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not see 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.
verse 8: 'will not see when heat comes' means, that when i face situations, i will not be affected by it. and truly, this is what exactly i've been experiencing these past few days.
many things are against me right now, i've been receiving bad reports. one after another. i just received one today too. but somehow, these have no effect on my emotions.it seems, like i'm not getting affected by them. my head reasons, that i'm crazy not to panic, not to worry, not to fear, like i've always been previously. but deep down in the centre of my heart, there's a peace. a peace that passes all understanding. its gonna be alright. its like, hey, i'm made for greater things, and all these small little things cant affect me, the Beloved.
and recently too, it dawned upon me, i have such an advantageous position in life. when i face challenges, i never face them alone. i have Jesus with me. when i don't know what to pray, i can always pray in tongues. i have a God who loves me deeply and passionately.
i'll praise You Jesus, for You are good.
