JUN 22: Trees Planted by the Lord

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord
    and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.

They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
      with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
    or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
    and they never stop producing fruit.


The godly will flourish like palm trees
      and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house.
      They flourish in the courts of our God.

Jeremiah 17:7-8, Psalm 92:12-13, NLT
