Read through the Bible, Day 216

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.

Read

Jeremiah 4–6

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

What part of your heart feels untilled and in need of the plow of God’s Word today?

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.
