Finished up the book of Jeremiah this morning.
I scanned back through it quickly, noting some of the different things I’d marked:
- 1:7 – “you must go wherever I send you”
- 4:3 – “Plow up the hard ground of your hearts!”
- 8:22 – “Is there no medicine in Gilead?”
- 10:24 – “correct me, Lord, but please be gentle.”
- 14:16 – give glory to the Lord before it is too late
- 16:9 – oh yes!
- 17:7-8 – trees by the river
- 18:6 – clay in the potter’s hand
- 21:9 – fire in my bones
- 21:15 – “A beautiful palace does not make a great king!”
- 23:24 – “Can anyone hide from me?”
- 29:11-14 – read it!
- 32:37 – “I am the Lord… is anything too hard for me?”
- 33:2 – I need to be asking God to reveal his secrets; he says he wants to tell me
- 35:4 – Hanan son of Igdaliah is called “a man of God.” We know nothing about him. Yet, he earned the moniker.
- 45:5 – “Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don’t do it!”
- 48:10 – “Cursed be those who refuse to do the work the Lord has given them”
A suggestion: should you read the book, insert “the church” where Jeremiah talks about Judah, Israel, Jerusalem and the Israelites.” It is mind expanding…
