October 21
Introduction
Today’s reading begins with a call for the people to repent and return to the LORD. Warnings are given about an impending invasion, and the reading concludes with the judgment pronounced on Judah because of its sin.
Scripture Reading
Jeremiah 4:1-18
Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 4:4a
[The LORD says:] “Keep your covenant with me, your LORD, and dedicate yourselves to me.”
Reflect
According to verse 4, what are the consequences if the people do not keep their covenant with the LORD? How is the threatened invasion of Judah and Jerusalem described? In verse 14, what are the people of Jerusalem told to do in order to be saved? Are there prophetic voices today warning people to repent and return to the Lord?
Pray
Almighty God, wash away any evil that is in my heart and cleanse me of any sinful thoughts I may be harboring. Trusting in your mercy and steadfast love, I pray in your holy name. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those entering into covenant relationships
Tomorrow’s Reading
Jeremiah 5:1-19: Jeremiah warns the people of Jerusalem and Israel of the LORD’s judgment.
