Read Through the Bible in a Year 2018 Day 226: The Struggle

Good evening, everyone!

Today I read Jeremiah 10-13.

In these chapters, there are more warnings for the Israelites, who still have not turned from wickedness.

Why is it that we do that? Why do we continually ignore what God tells us to do? Why do we answer the call of temptation so often, even when we know it isn't good for us in the short or long term?

I think the answer is because we are imperfect beings, made of flesh. And our flesh is weak, even when our spirits want to serve God. So the struggle continues.

It heartens me, however, to know that in the end, as with so many things, this struggle will be worth it.

I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Jeremiah 14-17.
