Trust in the Lord

Bible Nugget 0206 [Jeremiah 17 v 5-8 NKJV]

5 Thus says the LORD:

      “Cursed is the man who trusts in man
      And makes flesh his strength,
      Whose heart departs from the LORD.
       6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert,
      And shall not see when good comes,
      But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
      In a salt land which is not inhabited.
       7 “ Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
      And whose hope is the LORD.
       8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
      Which spreads out its roots by the river,
      And will not fear when heat comes;
      But its leaf will be green,
      And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
      Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

 

The Word of God is Yea and Amen.  The curses upon the evil person and the blessings upon the righteous described in the above verses are similar in context to that described in Psalm 1: 1-6, confirming the blessings of God upon our lives for obedience and curses for disobedience, for in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established [2 Corinthians 13:1]. The punishment of the sin of Judah is lamented by the wailing prophet, Jeremiah in the first four verses of Jeremiah Chapter 17. However, God being righteous, judges both Nations and individuals. He punishes collectively and individually. Likewise, he blesses collectively and individually. He told Abraham that Sodom and Gomorrah would not be destroyed if there were ten righteous people in the City [Gen 18:10-32].  Lot was the most righteous person in the City, and escaped with his two daughters because of the mercy of God, and God’s answer to the prayer of Abraham, Lot’s uncle [Gen 19: 12-29].  Pray for your nation, that God should show mercy and pray for yourself as follows:

 

Prayer Nugget 0206

Lord have mercy upon our land. Redeem the souls of those who put their trust in you. Lord, I pray for myself. Thank you for sending Jesus to redeem me from the curse of the law. I put my trust in you and not in any man or the arm of flesh. You are my hope and stay. I trust in your ability to watch over me and protect me from every evil. Open the eyes of my mind to behold the wondrous promises in your Word destined for my life. Plant my feet by your Rivers of Living water. Famine, destruction and wastage are not my portion in Jesus Name. Make my feet to have roots and cause me to stand solid on your Word not shaken or blown around by any evil wind and difficulties of life in Jesus Name.  Make my life evergreen and flourishing so I will be immune in the year of drought. I inherit all my divine blessings in Jesus Name. Amen.
