“The Cursed. The Blessed”

“The Cursed. The Blessed”

Blessings folk!

Fruit.
We all produce it.
Evil.
Righteous.

Give ear to what the Lord says through the prophet Jeremiah.

Jer 17:5-8

Thus says the LORD,
“Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes flesh his strength,
And whose heart turns away from the LORD.

“For he will be like a bush in the desert
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A land of salt without inhabitant.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD
And whose trust is the LORD.

“For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.

The Cursed Man:

  • Trusts in mankind
  • Makes flesh his strength
  • Turns his heart away from the Lord
  • Will be like a bush in the desert
  • Will not see when prosperity comes
  • Will live in stony wastes in the wilderness

The Blessed Man:
  • Trusts in the Lord
  • Trust is the Lord…there is a distinction. Think.
  • Will be like a tree planted by water
  • Will extend roots by stream
  • Will not fear when heat comes
  • Will bear green leaves
  • Will not be anxious in time of drought
  • Will not cease to bear fruit

Which are you?

Trust the Lord.
Bear His fruit.
Be Blessed.
