Today, Travis and I went on a boat tour of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It's several miles of Lake Superior's shoreline that has beautiful cliffs and rock formations. There was one formation that was particularly impressive called Chapel Rock. On top of this rock is a white pine tree that survives because its root reaches beyond the rock to the soil on shore. Fifty years ago, there was a part of Chapel Rock that reached the shore that collapsed. In the years since then, the roots have remained intact, keeping the tree alive. Isn't that amazing?!
This tree reminded me of Jeremiah from our reading today. Jerusalem was falling all around him but he stayed safe. God promised that he would be protected because he trusted in the Lord. Jeremiah remained connected to God and that is what saved him.
No matter what circumstances we may be in or what may be falling down around us, as long as we stay connect to God, we will be protected.
