 "question": "Based on the illustration of Jeremiah 17, describe the life of the person who relies on human power. Describe the life of the person who relies on God’s power.",
 "answer": "Jeremiah 17 sets the two lives side by side. The person who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength is cursed—he is like a bush in the desert, living in stony wastes, a land of salt without inhabitant; trying to solve life's problems by human good, human intellect, and human strength, he steps outside the power sphere of God and guarantees himself isolation and spiritual dryness, and he will never see God's prosperity even though it is there. The person who trusts in the Lord is blessed—he is like a tree planted by the water, extending its roots by the stream, unafraid when the heat comes, its leaves staying green in a year of drought, never ceasing to yield fruit. This is batach, wrestling faith, that fights life's battles relying on divine power.",
