The Blessedness of Trusting in the Lord

I want to thank @CalTech for quoting from this sermon, delivered by J.C. Philpot on July 18,1869, at Gower Street Chapel, London, in another thread, which led to me reading the entire sermon. A wonderful sermon!

' In opening up the text, I shall, therefore, with God's help–

First, direct your thoughts to the blessedness of the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

Secondly, take up the comparison which the Holy Spirit has given us– that such a man resembles "a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river."

And Thirdly, speak of the fruits and blessings that spring out of his being thus planted by the hand of God by the waters and by the river– that he "shall not see when heat comes, but his leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
