Jeremiah 2

God really starts Jeremiah's prophetic ministry off strong. Some of those comparisons are rough, "a swift she camel" 😬. I heard a teaching yesterday that this chapter brings back to my mind. It was about denial. Israel was in denial about how much they had wandered from God, in denial about worshipping other gods, in denial about their relationship with God. What is something we are in denial about? Are we in denial about being in denial?

Jeremiah 1: Just as Jeremiah learned, God knew us and our life's path before we were even in the womb. We must all learn to hear from God. And do what He tells us. For He will always be with us. Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Jeremiah 2: Wow. I agree with Brandon. We are in denial. Our mission in life is to make disciples and teach, read the Word. Live by the Word. Why do we make it so difficult? How do we let the enemy make it so easy to distract us? The best thing we can do is read the Word and live by it's words. The words God has for us all. Trust God. Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Jeremiah chapter one is so rich, couldn’t even finish it yesterday, had to finish it today so I’m already behind. I love the way God dealt with Jeremiah’s objection that he was too young… God said don’t say you’re too young just do what I tell you and speak what I give you… God simply runs right past our objections, in a good way!

Jeremiah 2 we must be bold and unafraid to speak the Word of the Lord in any and all situations where He gives us opportunity. It doesn’t matter if others disagree or ridicule, scorn whatever…we must share His Word and His ways with our culture 😊👍

Jeremiah 3
God is just desperately trying to get Judah and Israel to return to Him. Promises of forgiveness, healing the land, restoring righteous leaders, curing backsliding. Good to see they saw His fervour and conceded their sinful ways.........woops😬. Though I know I have not been any better at times. I thought the connection, again, between the land being cursed and the people's sin was interesting, Jeremiah 3:3

Jeremiah 3: Our God is amazing. After all Israel has done to worship false gods and commit the sins against our Lord. God forgave and told Israel there will be no punishment or God be angry. Ask yourself, where are you at with God? Do you continue to sin? Is it blatant? Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Jeremiah 4

A little more of the same. God pleading with his people to repent, turn away from their sin so His great wrath doesn't have to fall on them. He tries so hard to get through to us, different ways to get our attention but there will come a time when, not that He stops pursuing us, but that we've positioned ourselves out of earshot of His voice.

I'm a little confused about Jeremiah's comment at 4:10 though, and God doesn't seem to acknowledge it either.

An attempt to respond to Brandon‘s confusion: just like many of us Israel failed to understand that God‘s love is unconditional but his promises are conditioned when our response to him… Therefore Jeremiah says they were deceived by what he said… But he did not intentionally deceive them

That makes sense, thanks for the clarity. It just seemed random. But His promises are often conditional and He is almost begging them to follow those conditions

Tucked away in the midst of the prophetic warnings towards Israel is hope that they will not be utterly destroyed (verse 18). That, along with verse 1, I take hope for America.we have many “honest” (righteous) folks in our nation.

Jeremiah 4: I see similarities from Jeremiah to now. We do not open our eyes to see the deception. We must be aware of the enemy. Get in the Word to be guarded. Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Jeremiah 5: This truly shows how much God loves us. To do all of the wicked things His people have done, but yet He does not destroy them. How do we deserve Him?!?!?! Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Dan Beck

Jeremiah 6: Still much of the same. God did not destroy His people of Israel of whom will not stop worshiping false gods and such other sins. I know i do not deserve God's love. But He stills gives love and protection anyway. God is good. Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Jeremiah 7: 27 “When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer. 28 Therefore say to them, ‘This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips.

Familiar in todays world? Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Jeremiah 8: “See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you,” declares the Lord.

Interesting Scripture! What does this mean?

Since my people are crushed, I am crushed; I mourn, and horror grips me.

Yet our God still mourns for those sinners.

Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Jeremiah 9:23&24 COULD seem random. But it's just God doing what He does. Always expressing His love, letting His people know that He does still love them and that He has a great plan for them. We can't sin ourselves away from His love, yes there are consequences for our actions but His love endures forever.

Jeremiah 9:26(the second half) reminds me of Paul in Galatians talking about circumcision being of no value, that it's a matter of the heart.

Jeremiah 9: 6 You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me," declares the Lord.

Do we not live in a similar world today? Who among us is afraid to acknowledge God in public? Seek God, always. Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Jer. 9:3 “ my people do not know me says the Lord”…and there’s the problem revealed. They only professed to be followers of God, but did not really know Him…I’m afraid that may be the case today…many profess to be believers, but…

Jeremiah 24&25
Jeremiah prays a very bold(some may say reckless) prayer here. He asks for His to discipline him(though only in due measure) and for God to "Pour out His wrath on nations that do not acknowledge you, on the nations that do not call out His name". I think more then once in Jeremiah we've heard how Israel did not call upon the name of the Lord. From the priests to the shepherds it seems no one did. I have to think Jeremiah knew what he was asking God to do, makes me think he was fed up with Israel's sin too.

Jeremiah 10: 21 The shepherds are senseless and do not inquire of the Lord; so they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered.

Are we shepherds? Where is your flock? Time to gather them together and live by the Word of God.

Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Jeremiah 11:14 stood out to me today. Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, for I will not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster. It reminds me of some of our leaders today who God has given over to a reprobate mind. He will not save them from themselves. He is knows their hearts, they have turned their backs on Him!! There is nothing new under the sun! Father protect us from this evil ☝🙏

Jeremiah 11: How bad must things be for God to purposely NOT listen to prayers for sinners?

Where are you at with God?

Pray. Read. Praise God!!

Dan Beck

Jeremiah 12: Once again God gives His people a chance. A chance to redeem themselves before God. He will again prosper His people as long as the follow His Word. Do we really want to take the chance to do what we want, then ask forgiveness? Don't you think the enemy will eventually completely overtake you? Stay with God. Keep in the Word. Trust Our Lord.

Pray. Read. Praise God!!

I have a hard time understanding why the wicked prosper also. But I think the Lord is getting us ready mentally, physically and spiritually for things to come! Hallelujah Praise God!
