Tree Planted By The Water

River Tree

When I go up north, my absolute passion is to enjoy open spaces and running waters. I am stimulated sitting next to the river, just taking in the currents moving everything it touches. On a late afternoon I had taken my journal with me to sit upon some rocks immersing myself in my surroundings; enjoying the view and angle of a nearby tree. Never do I feel alone, but rather I’m content to be in the presence of my heavenly Father.

Recent battles for me and my family take my mind back to this spot and I remember who I am and what I must do always.

Jer 17:7-8 “But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
