Under Gods Command
Jeremiah 17:5-8 This is what the LORD says: Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.
Two kinds of people are contrasted here: those who trust in human beings and those who trust in the LORD. The people of Judah were trusting in false gods and military alliances instead of God, and thus they were barren and unfruitful. In contrast, those who trust in the Lord flourish like trees planted by water (see Psalm 1). In times of trouble, those who trust in human beings will be impoverished and spiritually weak, so they will have no strength to draw on. But those who trust in the Lord will have abundant strength, not only for their own needs, but even for the needs of others. Are you satisfied with being unfruitful, or do you like a well-watered tree, have strength for the time of crisis and even some to share as you bear fruit for the Lord.
