In spite of triple-digit temperatures and very little rainfall, the lantana living in the flower beds manage to consistently show off. The roots have gone deep, and the multicolored blooms just keep coming, providing a paradise for the butterflies. The leaves haven’t faded and the hardy branches continue to pull the needed nutrients from the soil. In spite of . . .
“Most blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. For they will be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it stop yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8)
