God Plants His Trees in the Right Place

God plants His Trees in the Right Place-Part 2

       Jeremiah 17: 7-8 states, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 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 the heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green, and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.”

       It is interesting to note that God plants the tree and the tree chooses on purpose to “spread out her roots by the river”.  Christian musician, you are planted where you are by the will of God.  It is your responsibility to spread out your spiritual roots along the pure crystal river of life.  If your spiritual leaf withers it is because you have spread out your roots in the wrong place.  It is God’s responsibility to provide the pure water that sustains spiritual life, and it is your responsibility to attend to the means of grace in order to maintain a strong spiritual life.

       Notice that this Scripture states that the man who TRUSTS in the self existent eternal god who is the provider of all the Christian’s needs.  Also note that the blessed Christian is the man or woman who hopes in the LORD.  The Christian musician should never trust in any earthly organization.  The musician who has his roots headed toward the pure crystal spiritual waters will also have his or her hope in God who provides this spiritual sustenance.
