Jeremiah 17 · Grade 3
Blessed Is the Man Who Trusts
Read the Story
God described two kinds of people. The first trusts in people and turns away from God. He is like a bush in the desert. He does not see when good comes. He lives in dry places.
The second trusts in Yahweh. He is like a tree planted by the waters. Its roots go out by the river. When heat comes, its leaf stays green. Even in a year of drought it keeps yielding fruit.
God said the heart is deceitful above all things. But God searches the mind and tries the heart. Jeremiah prayed for God to heal him and save him. God also told the people to keep the Sabbath day holy and rest from carrying loads.
