Which Man (or Woman) do you want to be?

Do you want to be this person?

Jeremiah 17 vs 5 -6 :
(5) Thus says the Lord:  “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord.  (6) He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.

Or do you want to be this person:

Jeremiah 17 vs 7 - 8:

(7) whose trust is the Lord.  (8) He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

Just remember the following:

Jeremiah 17 vs 9 - 10:

(9) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick;  who can understand it?  (10) “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”

Be encouraged today, God is the God who loves you with an everlasting love.  Turn to Him, and let Him be your strength today.  We all know, at the end of the day, our flesh is weak, and we are strong only in His Spirit.  Jesus alone is our strength.  Lean on Him....

God bless
