Chatting with Jesus
Thursday, March 16, 2023
Lord, many are nervous. Every news outlet reports on the failure of prominent banks, which many felt were too big to fail. Hard times are in store for those folks whose trust lay in those financial institutions. Many are in panic mode, wondering what to do, looking at every option—except looking to You.
What does Your Word say about times like this, since both believers and non-believers are affected? Read what the prophet Jeremiah wrote when challenging times came in his day.
“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,” — Jeremiah 17:7–8 (NLT).
Scripture urges believers to keep their confidence in the Lord. The Lord is saying, “I’m putting your faith to the test. Trust me and see if My Word doesn’t come through for you.”
You never run out of grace in any circumstance for Your followers. We’re not asked to understand how You will come through for us, but just exercise faith, and anticipate expectedly for You to do what You say You will. What a great way to show a skeptical world of Your faithfulness to those who follow You. And may the truths of the “fruit we never stop producing” be shared with those who need to see You are who You say You are.
Amen, Jesus.
THANKFUL
