trust Him.

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is in the Lord.

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."
      --Jeremiah 17:7-8

When we continue to trust in the Lord, even a dry spell won't phase us.  And not only trust in the Lord, but trust the Lord.  It's hard sometimes to trust that God can do what He says He can do, isn't it?  But if we do, even "in the year of drought" we will not cease to bear fruit.  What a beautiful promise.

We will see the outpouring of the Lord in our lives, be a light for His Kingdom, even if He seems distant.
Let us cling to Him - trust Him.
