Jeremiah 17:6-9
Excerpted from: The Sin of Self-Deception

In other words, the person who does not live by faith is not going to grow. He is going to be like a shrub in the desert that only receives water every so often, not near often enough to really grow.

It is the heart that motivates us to break faith with God's Word. It does it by weakening our trust in what God says as being really true. Is that not what happened in the Garden of Eden? Is that not why Adam and Eve sinned, because their trust in God's Word was broken by the arguments, by the reasons, by the convoluted ideas and justifications that Satan came up with?

Jeremiah 17:7-8
Excerpted from: Pure in Heart

So the heart that trusts everything in the Lord is likened here to that tree planted by the waters. It is not fearing the heat, it is not anxious about anything, not anxious about the drought. It remains green, healthy, vibrant, yielding constant, abundant fruit. When we bring our cares, our desires, our anxieties before God in prayer and pray for Him to help us really accept and want His will, not our will regarding that thing, then we are like that tree that is filled with His refreshing regenerative spirit.
