Bible Reading for October 3 (ONPP)
Jeremiah 41 – 43, Proverbs 9
Jeremiah 42:2 – It is so sad that these people recognize the power of God but do not receive Him as Lord themselves. They ask Jeremiah to pray to his God not their or our God.
Jeremiah 42:4 – Jeremiah reminds the people that Jehovah is their God also.
Jeremiah 42:6 – Now that they have made a vow to obey God they claim Him as their God.
Jeremiah 42:10–22 – God gives them a promise of life and safety with the BIG IF they stay in the land. But if they won’t stay God warns them of what will happen to them, famine, plague, attack and death. God always considers obedience as much greater than sacrifices.
Jeremiah 42:20 – Jeremiah perceived that the hearts of the people were not toward God. As they said earlier “your God”.
Jeremiah 43:2 – The proof of the heart is in the actions of the hand and the speech of the mouth. These people did not want to follow God’s directions but wanted to follow their own fear of one that God can control and have no fear of God. These people have always had the propensity to follow their own path and not God’s. When they came out of Egypt and God was providing manna some went out on the Sabbath to look for it. Some even went out on the Sabbath to gather wood for a fire. Abram was told to leave his family and go to where God told him but he took his father with him part of the way and his nephew all the way to Canaan before his fellowship with God was restored.
