1.Judah's sin is engraved with an iron tool,inscribed with a flint point,on the tablets of their heartsand on the horns of their altars.
2Even their children remembertheir altars and Asherah poles[1]beside the spreading treesand on the high hills.
3My mountain in the landand your[2] wealth and all your treasuresI will give away as plunder,together with your high places,because of sin throughout your country.
4Through your own fault you will losethe inheritance I gave you.I will enslave you to your enemiesin a land you do not know,for you have kindled my anger,and it will burn forever.”
5This is what the LORD says:“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,who depends on flesh for his strengthand whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6He 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.
7“But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,whose confidence is in him.
8He will be like a tree planted by the waterthat 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 droughtand never fails to bear fruit.”
9The heart is deceitful above all thingsand beyond cure.Who can understand it?
10“I the LORD search the heartand examine the mind,to reward a man according to his conduct,according to what his deeds deserve
After reading these words my heart is calm. I no longer look forward and worry and fret. I only look to God. My God is Big . I'll TRUST in him even if i dont know the way . Let him lead me wherever i go. Even to depths of the deap ocean , Or even a firey furnace , Or even hungry lions . Because the sea will part , fire will not burn, and the lion will shut its mouth. I will stand eventhough i shake ... Now i ask of You to teach me to stand and look to you cause when you are near terror will run , uncertainty will shake , doubt will scream and satan will yell.... but i will be still for you careth for me and i can trust you
