A curse on the man who puts his trust in man.
He is like dry scrubs in the wastelands.
And we , do we have a spiritual plan.
Are we to be swept away by time’s shifting sands.

A blessing on the man who puts his trust in the Lord.
He is like a tree by the waterside.
He will reap the ever flowing heavenly hoard.
And always will have a true and loyal guide.

The words of Jeremiah made a profound impression.
Here was a simple choice we all have.
Focusing on the spiritual brings an end to tension.
All that is material will never be a lasting salve.

It’s more devious than any other thing, the heart.
And the Lord searches the heart.

………

Put not trust in man
But put your trust  in the Lord
That is the best way

See Jeremiah 17: 5-10
