2 Kinds Of People; Which One Are You?

Jeremiah 17 verses 5 to 8 reads..."5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. Another translation says (This is what the LORD says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the LORD.)NLT 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited".

"7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

As I was meditating on this scripture this morning, I was like 'wow'!!! I have studied it so many times but still, it is TOO MUCH. I remembered something very profound; Pastor Chris once said that "Love always gives/allows a choice" that means when you love someone, you'll give them an opportunity or ability to have a choice to respond the way you expect or not, you can't force them to love you, Love does not do that. God is LOVE, He is like this, so He gives a choice always. Heheh,eeehh, He tells you that you have 2 option and lays out the consequences of choosing any of the laid out options. Haa, the Word is LIGHT, you can't be in darkness, no trial and error, you always know what to do and what to get out of doing the Word.. Oh the above scripture is sooo loaded with wisdom; So, this tell me this: it all can't be well with me if I trust in people; if I rely on human strength (my own or any others); if I turn away from God. As I examine myself, I think of the days when I used to expect and trust so much in people, heheh, how I would always end up disappointed. How I used to depend on myself that I'd push myself so hard, shame on me! What a miserable life, what a frustrating way of life, you end up losing all the hope for the future and settling for mediocrity. I have realized that a person is a hazard to herself/himself and to other people if Jesus/The WORD is Not the Lord or Master in his/her life. The thinking, reasoning, talking on its own is destructive because they depend on what they think, feel etc, hahah, there is no guidance at all, it is like the blind leading the blind. BUT I thank God because now I/we have the privilege to know better, wisdom has arrived, I/we have arrived! ........................................................................................................................................ Eeeh, ayayayay! I'm TOLD in verse 7 that" “But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. 8 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." *Aaaiiiii...Ayayaya..Ehhheeeh..honestly, I read this verse and starts dancing*. So I’ve said and still say to myself; If I trust in the Lord and if my hope the Lord is or the Lord is my hope; this is how it all can be. Yoh! Yoh! So I'll NOT be bothered by anything, challenges of this world, nothing at all shall bother me. Hahah, I will not be affected by anything, I'll forever be productive, prospering, winning, shinning, smiling, etc. So I'm a readymade VICTOR! I am Not Moved by what I see, because I know who back me up. The only way is VICTORY, WINNING! Yoh! Talk about being ‘too loaded to be empty’, ‘too late to fail’. So why should I bother about anything else,hahah, I refuse. All I must do is to TRUST in HIM, God Himself takes care of everything. God is too much!

I think of verse 5,6,7& 8 in Proverbs Chapter 3 which says "5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. 7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil. 8 Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones" .................................................................................. heheh Oh I refuse to trust in people. The Lord is my Hope, I completely trust in the Lord, in Him alone. He is the Lord of my life, my decisions, my everything. Wow! Choose right and be the right man/person. Trust in the LORD, always! Have a great day!
