Today’s passage: Jeremiah 7:28-8:17
Helpful thoughts:
- Verse 27 leads us into this next passage. What Jeremiah is about to say, no one is going to listen.
- God’s Word never returns void. It always accomplishes exactly what God sent it to do. (Isaiah 55:11)
- Sometimes God sends His word to show His glory through righteous judgment.
- Chapter 8, verse 3 is such a sad truth…so very sad.
Questions to consider:
- What sins does God specifically use to show Judah’s rejection of Him in this passage? How far had they gone in their sinfulness?
- What did Judah (And Israel) look for MOST before God (Verse 15)? When we desire ease and prosperity more than we want God, what happens? What do we receive when we desire Christ first (Philippians 4:4-9)?
