Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength
Jeremiah 17:5-9
5 Thus says the LORD: “ Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength,”
We cannot afford to put our trust in man this year. We must not put our trust in ourselves, or in other people. Make a commitment to God and to each other that we are not going to take a step without seeking God first.
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”.
This will be a fruitful year for you. That is the promise in God’s Word. Set your face to seek Him and your heart will be established in the Word. Even if it is a year of drought, you will not fear, you will be fruitful.
Practical Tip
Be wise about your health. We do not compare ourselves to others, we seek God for ourselves. This is not about keeping rules it’s about being hungry for God. Fan the flame that has been lit within you this week. Worship the Lord and give Him time to speak to your heart.
