“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
8 He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

Yesterday, I was looking for a book to read, and couldn't find the one I was looking for, so I picked up Green Leaf in Drought by Isabel Kuhn.
Anything by this author is good. Not only is her writing lively, it is devotional and inspiring.
Imagine my surprise this morning, when in the course of my regular Bible reading, I came to Jeremiah 17:7-8, the passage that is the spiritual thesis of the book. It is so reassuring when you see God leading in even the reading material you pick up.
