Jeremiah 17:7 · KJV

"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is."

King James Version

Passage Context

⁵Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

⁶For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

⁷Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

⁸For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

⁹The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Trust. Can we trust God? Is God really reliable? We are extremely fortunate to still be alive today, despite the fact that we might wish we had been around when Jesus was on the earth or when Jeremiah spoke God's harsh truth without fear. The culmination of God's incredible series of deeds is here. History reveals that He was fiercely devoted to His people. Knowing that God is already in the future gives us the confidence to move forward.
