7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 They 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.”
I really like this visual.
If you are reliant on the world and the people around you, its like a tree planted in the desert. Completely affected by what's happening in the environment.
If we are connected and drawing strength from God, then we are connected to a source of strength that enables us to weather any storm of life. This brings comfort when things like the pandemic happen or our family goes through health issues. Our source is still completely available to us, and we need to lean into it.

Same section I selected. It is such a great analogy and I love the visualization. Our eternal health is secured by having our faith in God. OUr time on earth should be without worry when we have our trust in Him.
