Faith in Foul Circumstances

Jeremiah 17:7-8 says, “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord and whose confidence is in God.  He will be like a tree planted by the living streams of water, which sends down its roots beneath the stream.  He will not fear when the heat comes, nor despair in the year of drought.  His leaves will always be green, and he will never fail to produce fruit in season.”
