He shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river. (JER 17:8) Sometimes fires can be difficult to contain because of dry conditions. The forest can be dry despite rainfall, partly because of an insect called the pine looper, which defoliates trees. This dry tree condition has a parallel in Israels history. Jeremiah said that his countrymen had become like dry shrubs in a desert rather than green trees by a river. Even more alarming, he said they had aroused the fire of Gods anger (v 4) by trusting in man & departing from the Lord (v 5). For Christians today, its lifes fiery trials that threatens to scorch our souls if were trusting in our own strength. THE PINE LOOPER!!!
