Jeremiah 17:8 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."
Even in times of economic turmoil? Yes, even then. God is not part of this world in that he is a victim of it's ups and downs. It doesn't matter if it is good times or bad times, God is God and he can do whatever he wants.
When we align ourselves with him it shouldn't matter to us then whether it is good times or bad. The Kingdom of God is not swayed by the kingdom of man.
When we have faith in God we are like a tree planted by the water. No matter how hot it gets, we can always get a drink. This is not because we have any special ability, but because God loves us and chooses to be with us.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always remember that you are with me even in tough times. Help me to be near the living water to drink from it in times of trouble and times of plenty.
Amen
