DAILY DEVOTIONAL – February 6, 2024 A Reservoir of Living Water By David Wilkerson “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7-8, NKJV). Consider the one who trusts God in the hard places: “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” This Christian is “planted.” He has roots, stability, a reservoir of living water. He is always spreading out, fruitful and green with fresh life. Consider again where scripture says, “[He] will not be anxious [fearful] in the year of drought…” (Jeremiah 17:8). When things get intense and bothersome, he will not be afraid. This person says, “Jesus, I give up looking to any person to bring me out of my trial. You are my only hope.  I look to you to bring me out of this.”  The Lord desires this kind of faith from us in everyday matters.  You may object, “But, Brother Dave, I'm still unemployed, still having trouble.”  We still must believe God's Word when it says, "Trust me, and you'll be blessed!" You may answer, “I don't know what I'm going to do.  It looks so hopeless.  I don't see any sign of help or deliverance.”  To all these things, God still says, “Trust me, my child, and you'll be blessed.” It does not matter whether your trial is with your family, with your business or with provision. If you put your total trust in his Word and his faithfulness, God has promised to bless you; and he cannot lie.  When the heat comes, you won't even be bothered.  When the wind comes, you'll stand strong because you will have learned to trust him.  You'll be a green tree bearing the abundant fruit of confidence, and everyone around you will be given hope and encouragement as they behold your quiet trust.  Read and Listen OnlineForward to a Friend

Seven Thousand Did Not Bow You remember the story of Elijah. On Mount Carmel, he faced 850 false prophets in a life-or-death showdown over whose God would prevail. He simply called on the Lord, and supernatural fire fell from heaven.
