    “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.” The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?

    Jeremiah 17:7–9
    • Trusting in God (vs our hearts, which are deceitful/sick) will help us to weather drought/suffering when it comes.

    • The title of the backblast comes from this video, after Dreamliner said a passing motorcycle “was not obeying the posted speed limit”:
