Deep Roots Jeremiah 17:5-10

Today we look at the prophet Jeremiah's message that amid trying times in the world, those connected to The Source will fair better than those without God. Those who rely on humankind and the things of this world and turn away from God will be like a shrub in the desert. Those who are connected to God on the other hand will find that while a drought happens, they still bear fruit and are stable because their roots run to a nearby steam/river and Source of Life. In these challenging times in the world of uncertainty and shifting alliances, may you find hope, peace, comfort and strength to carry on through Faith in the God of the Universe who is with us, for us, within us, around us and, Above All.
