Good morning, everyone.
Today I read Jeremiah 42-45.
And not to sound rude, but it's more of the same. The people are sinning. Jeremiah warns the people. The people declare Jeremiah is a liar: "God would never hurt us!" and ignore his warning. God promises calamity.
But no calamity yet.
I'm used to this pattern: sin, warning, ignore the warning, calamity, repentance.
We haven't gotten to the last two yet. At least not enough for the Israelites to repent.
And this message really is so important. We can't just ignore God's warnings because we believe He won't punish us for doing wrong. We have to repent and ask His forgiveness when we do. Otherwise, we'll face His wrath and bring calamity on ourselves and our families.
Well, I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Jeremiah 46-48.
