41- Like a Tree

Jeremiah 17:7-8 are 2 powerful verses.

I "randomly" (haha- thank You Holy Spirit) saw them tonight as I opened up the Bible. (I suppose there is a lesson in that too- God will do cool stuff if we do our little part and just open up the Bible.)
Anyway

7~ "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord; whose trust is the Lord.
8~ He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit"

If I pour a glass of water in the grass, it helps the grass and is needed for the grass. It is just what the plant needs to grow. It is perfect for its life.
But it needs it every day. One glass of water from God is perfect. But I need Him everyday. The water I receive today is for today but will not get me through tomorrow (reminds me of how God directed the Israelites with manna).
Essentially, I need God today- I also need Him tomorrow.
I can not survive on yesterdays glass of water. I need something fresh today.
Holy Spirit give me a refill of You. Give me the discipline to stay under your shower of life. To be like a tree that has roots in the stream. I want to constantly ask and receive life and power from you. I don't want to come to the stream once in a while. I want to be planted by water.

I didn't even get into the depths of the rest of v. 8. I want to understand it more.

38- The Faithful God of Miracles who Provides

I do nothing.
and HE does everything.
I am clueless
and HE knows the details of tomorrow
I cant work it out
and HE already did

At the beginning of this week, we had a meeting for Nepal and SendOutCards. At the team meeting beforehand, we realized we're in a pickle. We hadn't had communication with the orphanage, didn't know if the land would be prepped for the playground, several team members didn't have enough funds, we weren't sure if we would have enough time with the kids, not sure where we were staying etc... Just alot of stuff.
At the meeting we invited people too, we talked about our needs and spent some time in prayer. We asked God to work in Nepal, help our team, and to basically setup this trip.
Praise God!!!
1- After the meeting I was talking with Mark (team leader) and a friend Eric. I happened to log on to Skype and got to talk to one of our contacts and got some awesome contact info for the orphanage as well as answers to other questions.
2- Wednesday one of our team members receives a check for $1,000.
3- Thursday another team member receives $1,000.
4- We also found out that our whole team will be able to go.
5- Also, someone Mark contacted in Nepal, got pictures and measurements of the land we will be building the playground on.

Not to mention the other things God is showing His goodness through.

I LOVE THE MAN JESUS
