A bush in the desert or a tree by the stream?

This is not very original, because I am 'copying' the encouraging word from K-Love radio on June 1st. The scripture was from Jeremiah, which I admit, is not a chapter I turn to frequently when I pick up my Bible. It brought to me great encouragement (hence the name, "encouraging word") in my walk with our most Heavenly Father. When I feel like I'm being attacked by the enemy, I still need to perservere and find my solace and strength in the Lord. (His power is perfected in my weakness!)
Thus says the Lord,
"Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes flesh his strength,
And whose heart turns away from the Lord.
"For he will be like a bush in the desert
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A land of salt without inhabitant.
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord
And whose trust is the Lord.
"For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit. " Jeremiah 17: 5-8
Lord, help me to place my trust in you, to not seek approval from my peers, co-workers, friends! Help me to be bold and courageous in my walk with you, so that my roots will be planted firm by your living water! Help me to withstand the "heat" from the enemy who prowls around and seeks to devour!
