Great Commission – Matthew 28:18-20 Great Commandment – Mark 12:29-31

7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the L ORD, whose trust is the L ORD. 8 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.” - Jeremiah 17:7-8

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the L ORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. - Psalm 1:1-3

Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. - Psalm 1:1-3 (NLT)
