Jeremiah 17:7 says, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord and who’s hope the Lord is.”

My beloved brethren, every scripture of this type requires that as people of God we have a responsibility to position ourselves in order to be blessed by God. Psalm 84:12 says virtually the same thing as Jeremiah 17:7, we have to answer the call of God to trust in Him with all our hearts. The Lord is our hope not just for today but for the future, and trusting God gives us hope and that hope is a blessing. 

When heat and drought come, we who dwell in the house will still be praising God (Psalm 84:4). When the storm comes that blessed person will have their feet deeply rooted and grounded in the God in whom they trust to deliver. Father, give us wisdom grace and fortitude to stand and trust You and be blessed, and trust You, Father, to do all the things that You have promised us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
