C'mon, man! Here's the deal: Jeremiah 17 is all about trusting God. My father used to say that when we trust in the Lord, our lives will be full of blessings. That's not gonna happen if we rely on our own strength. See here, Jack, the Lord knows what's best for us, so it's important to stay close to Him. We can find rest in His protection and the security of His arms. Or uh, you know, we can turn away and face the consequences. Not joking, folks! I tell you what, the Lord will search our hearts and try us, but if we trust in Him, we will be rewarded. That's what I'm talking about, excuse me, literally. Now what was that? If we follow our own plans, we'll be in trouble, but if we put our faith in the Lord, we'll be just fine. That's what I'm talking about - no malarkey!
