=Fruitful in Times of Drought=

*Jeremiah 17:5,7
"5 This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD."
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him."

Difference of Who Trust in Man and Who Trust in the Lord:
1. Cursed
*Jeremiah 17:5
"5 This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD."

Flesh: weak, full of limitations and imperfection.

2. No source of water.
*Jeremiah 17:6
"6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands;"

3. Live in poverty.
*Jeremiah 17:6
"6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes.

"In times of drought, God's provisions are available."

4. No life in him.
*Jeremiah 17:6
"6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.

5. Blessed
*Jeremiah 17:7
"7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him."

Makarios: (Greek) Happy

6. Abundant life
*Jeremiah 17:8
"8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream."

"Ang abundance hindi lang sa pera, you can be also rich in terms of relationships with others."

7. Nothing to fear.
*Jeremiah 17:8
"8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.""

Heat: Problems, Trials, Testing in Life

8. Blooming
*Jeremiah 17:8
"8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green..."

"Aspire to be a good-looking. Magiging good-looking ka kung maganda ang kalooban."

"Pag maganda po ang kalooban, nagrereflect 'yan."

9. Peace of Mind
*Jeremiah 17:8
"8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

"If we were connected with Christ, we will be filled with completeness."

10. Bearing Fruit
*Jeremiah 17:8
"8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
