Reflection and Discussion Ch1 Q7

           Read Jeremiah 17:7.  What does this verse promise and encourage you to do?  Think of one situation where you could live in the power of this promise and describe what that would look like this week.
Jeremiah 17:7 “But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.”
This verse promises that if I trust in the Lord and put my confidence in Him, that I will be blessed.  It encourages me to trust and put my confidence in the one who made me.
For this week, I, like always, am going to use this verse to just get me through the week and the incidents involved.  But specifically, I am going to try to stop worrying about the things I can’t control (traffic, my boss, parents of my students, results, wait time, etc.)  I’m going to trust that God brought me here and that it will all work out the way it’s supposed to.  It’s going to look like this verse on my hand in permanent marker as a reminder and me doing a lot of praying.  I’m open to suggestions for what else it will look like!
