Reaping What We Sow

Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength
Whose heart departs from the Lord
For he shall be like a shrub in the desert
And shall not see when good comes
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness
In the salt land which is not inhabited
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord
And whose hope is the Lord
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters
Which spread out its roots by the river
And will not fear when heat comes
But its leaf will be green
And will not be anxious in the year of drought
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”

Jeremiah 17: 5-8

The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.
Who can know it?
“I, the Lord, search the heart
I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways
According to the fruit of his doings.”

Jeremiah 17: 9-10
