Jeremiah 17:7, 8  “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” (NLT)

Deeply-rooted believers are not terrified by heat and long-range weather forecasts. Their nourishment and refreshment come from a deep and abundant source. They are fruitful while others complain.

There is a resource that never grows dry. There is refreshment easily reached by turning to God in trust and obedience. 

Where does your hope come from?

In what do you place your confidence?

Psalm 121:2 gives us words to declare our answer to these questions:

“My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!”

This makes a nice, simple breath prayer. You can keep it handy for when you need it. When you are running out of patience, perspective, or personal resources, God continues overflowing with goodness, grace, and mercy. Pray this affirmation and carry on.

“My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!”

Heaven Maker and Earth Maker also makes cooler temperatures and rain. Turn to him. Trust him. Tell him and yourself so. Tell others where your strength comes from. Tell them the source of your joy. 

I will remember and declare where my help comes from.

Our Father, you are the reservoir that never runs dry. You are the river that continually flows. You are the rain that so lovingly refreshes the land. You take care of people, pets, livestock, wildlife, crops of the field, and plants of all kind. We can trust you and do what you say because you always seek our highest good. You are our hope and help. We belong to you. Amen.

Daily D – Job 8:2-7

Job 8:2-7
“How long will you go on like this?
You sound like a blustering wind.
Does God twist justice?
Does the Almighty twist what is right?
Your children must have sinned against him,
so their punishment was well deserved.
But if you pray to God
and seek the favor of the Almighty,
and if you are pure and live with integrity,
he will surely rise up and restore your happy home.
And though you started with little,
you will end with much.”

Daily D – Job 1:9-11

Job 1:9-11 Satan replied to the LORD, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!”

Daily D – Psalm 145:17

Psalm 145:17
The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness.

Daily D – Psalm 139:1-6

Psalm 139:1-6
O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!

Daily D – Psalm 130

Psalm 130
From the depths of despair, O LORD,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer.
