JEREMIAH!!!

Hey, I know it's been a while since anyone's done a blog, so I wanted to "break the ice" (for lack of better words) and find out what everyone thinks about Jeremiah right now.

What basic lesson has Jeremiah been teaching you?

Are there any particular verses that have stood out for you?

(Check out the comments for my personal answer!)

So far, Jeremiah has been teaching me about obedience. It made me look into myself and wonder if there is any sin that might be keeping me from living the best life that God wants me to live. In fact, after doing that, I started feeling bad and realizing how horrible a person I am. Then I read somewhere that there are a lot of Christians that think that they're doing nothing wrong, so feeling bad about sin is better than being blinded and feeling nothing at all. However, it becomes a problem when it starts affecting you every day.

I thought Jeremiah 5: 15-18 was interesting:

15 O house of Israel," declares the LORD,
"I am bringing a distant nation against you—an ancient and enduring nation, a people whose language you do not know, whose speech you do not understand.

16 Their quivers are like an open grave; all of them are mighty warriors.

17 They will devour your harvests and food, devour your sons and daughters; they will devour your flocks and herds, devour your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust.

18 "Yet even in those days," declares the LORD, "I will not destroy you completely.

I wonder who He was talking about. =O

I was thinking maybe God was talking about sending Israel's enemies to destroy them as punishment for their idolatry.

Justin said...

Yeah, but I mean what was the name of the nation. =P

Princess Samantha said...

Oh...that I don't know. It's got to be in Israel's history somewhere... :O Do you have an idea?
