Dear friend, the promise verse that God is giving us today is from Jeremiah 17:8, which says, "For he will be like a tree planted by the waters." That's how you and I are going to be, a strong person planted on the Lord. He will be our cornerstone, our rock, our sure foundation, and we will never fall. If we look at this verse and what happens to such a tree, we see it is planted by the waters and becomes so fertile, so nourished, and so strong. It spreads out its roots by the river, showing us how God will make us take root in Him, in His right teaching and in the ways of God, so that our foundation will be correct.

Many people are taught to go in a crooked path, but we will do right before the Lord. This tree does not fear the heat when it comes. It is not afraid of the famine. Likewise, you will not be afraid of challenges before you; of terrifying people or terrifying situations. Instead, you will be firmly planted in the peace of God. The verse also says that its leaves will be green and moist. That means you will always have a great image, a great name in society, always green, always moist, never becoming dry.

It will not be anxious or concerned in a year of drought. Instead, you will be enriched by the blessing of God. You will never stop bearing fruit. God will make you fruitful in your season, giving you the revelation of what to do and the power to do it. You will become such a tree planted in the rivers of God when you read the Word of God every day, receive His promise, and His revelation. That will make you firm in the blessing of God and make your foundation correct. You will never shake. Will you praise God for giving you this wonderful blessing today?

PRAYER: 
Loving Lord, thank You for planting me deeply in Your loving presence, like a tree by the living waters. Let my roots grow strong in Your truth, unshaken by the drought season or fear. Please fill me daily with Your Holy Spirit so that I can be fruitful in every season. Teach me to trust You completely, to walk in righteousness, and to reflect Your glory in all that I do. Let me never wither, never be anxious, but always stand firm in Your purpose. I praise You for being my sure foundation, now and forever. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
