whose trust is the Lord.
8 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 ESV
Today's entry won't be long. Won't be emotional. Won't be theological. But will hopefully be encouraging.
As I am well into the seventh year of this blog, I have thought at times, "Am I going to run out of stuff to write about? Will ideas start to repeat themselves?" Monday's entry belied those concerns.
Every so often I will reread a blog post from previous years but the same day on which I happen to be writing. Monday was one of those random days. On March 21, 2016 I revisited my posting from March 21, 2013. I was very surprised to find that on both dates I had referenced the same verses from Jeremiah. What I found was amazing. Same verses. Same translation. But completely different impressions of the verses.
In 2013 I had written about faith, troubles, and hope. In 2016 the focus was on bearing fruit.
This "coincidence" made me realize the depth of scripture, the breadth of scripture, and the convictions of the Holy Spirit will provide by far and away plenty of inspiration for many, many years of blog entries. I needn't worry about emptying God's well.
