Trust in God; love people

Next Sunday's first reading is from Jeremiah, and I am really looking forward to hearing what our homilist has to say about it (excerpt below):

Thus says the LORD:
Cursed is the one who trusts in human beings,
who seeks his strength in flesh,
whose heart turns away from the LORD.

This reading really caught my attention, especially in light of what my co-worker's girlfriend had advised him, which was "trust in God; love people" and because this reading just happens to come a few days after having been mugged at knifepoint.

I think God must be trying to tell me something. . .
