"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. 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."
What a contrast, the barren Chihuahua Desert vs. the lush fields of Iowa where I was raised. Grandpa's farm was truly a land of milk and honey–gallons of fresh milk from his Guernsey herd, honey from the beehives and apples from the orchards.
A rich land vs. a fierce land. Life of righteousness, peace and joy in the Kingdom of Heaven vs. life of anxiety and uncertainty in Satan's realm. My choice.
