Jeremiah 17
New International Version (NIV)
7 7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in Him.
8 8 They 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.”

I have seen lately several people that struggle with self esteem. This is definately an epidemic in America between young and old alike. Maybe that's why the "I feel good" sermons are so popular right now. I'm so sick of hearing that stuff. I searched "self esteem" in my handy bible app on one of the newer translations and guess what? Not in there. Feel good was in there though, refering to intoxication. So it makes me wonder, where are the feel good preachers getting their material?
The above verse talks about confidence. Confidence in God. Self esteem is important. You know that. Wanna boost your self esteem? Stop listening to the "ooooh I feel good today" crap, get right in the middle of God's will, have confidence in the Lord, and you will be like that tree planted by water.
