October 19
Introduction
Today’s reading catalogues God’s care for Israel, how the people rebelled, and how the people will be punished for their sinfulness.
Scripture Reading
Jeremiah 2:1-25
Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 2:21a
[The LORD says of Israel:] “I planted you like a choice vine from the very best seed.”
Reflect
What verses in today’s reading speak of the LORD’s love for the people? What has caused the LORD’s anger? What images are used to describe the people’s unfaithfulness? According to verse 11, the people exchanged God for other gods. How do you understand this verse? Are there times in your life when you “exchange” God for other things or do not put God first?
Pray
Lord God, you alone are the one true God. Draw me back to you whenever I am tempted to stray and not put you first. Thank you, dear God, for your ever-present steadfast love and care. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who have abandoned the Lord’s teachings
Tomorrow’s Reading
Jeremiah 3:6-25: Israel and Judah are called to repent.
Scripture
