"Blessed are
those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and
confidence. They are like trees planted along a river bank, 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."
Jeremiah
17:7-8
