Be Planted

William Burchfield Park

Day 56
Give your heart to Me, with all of its passions and desires, for I have made you passionate and emotional, and I can fill every need of your heart, to a point that exceeds all of your expectations. Do not look to the world or the people of the world to meet any of your needs. I am the One who meets your needs. See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.

Thus says the Lord, "Cursed is the one who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord. For he will be like a bush in the desert and will not see when prosperity comes, but will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, a land of salt without inhabitant."

Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord. He will be like a tree planted by the water, 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 [Jeremiah 17:5-8].

See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are always before me [Isaiah 49:16].
