Hear the warning of Jeremiah today: return before disaster comes. A lion is prowling in the thicket—the fierce anger of a holy God against empty, hypocritical religion.
Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.

Review
Write a sentence or two about what you've just read. This could be a summary of the passage or an observation or highlight that stood out to you.
Reflect
If Jeremiah were preaching now, he would scarcely need to alter his words! He might tell God’s people today: return to a time when you obeyed His Word; accept God’s mercy and forgive those who have wronged you; allow God to “plow up” the hardened ground of your hearts. —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
Respond
Write a short prayer, based on today’s reading. This could include praise, gratitude, personal confession, agreement with the truth, or a request for yourself or someone else.
