I was amazed to see these bright colors and even some green trees along river banks amidst this dusty, barren desert of Tucson. It reminded me of a verse from Jeremiah 17: 7-8, "But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." May we daily send out our roots to the stream of living water found only in Christ.
