One catches so clearly how trapped Jeremiah is in the time of God’s judgment. What the Lord told Jeremiah in yesterday’s reading is repeated in Revelation:
“‘Those who are destined for death, will die;
those who are destined for war, will die in war;
those who are destined for famine, will die of famine;
those who are destined for captivity, will die in captivity.’
There are times when no amount of ‘good living’ will give you health, wealth, and prosperity.
Here is the first of five Hallelujah psalms. Our friends, Tom and Judi Oas, visited us from Arizona. They have just retired from Wycliffe. Tom and Judi's ministry was in the Mexico branch of SIL, near Tucson. Judi reads this psalm for us.
The topic of this chapter is still related to that verse from Jeremiah that Paul quoted about boasting. And this chapter builds on what Paul has just said about wisdom.
