In today's reading, Jeremiah says these words that are often quoted, “Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.” Even thought these are often quoted, I don't really think that these words apply to us. Or if they do, we should pray along this line about understanding God's Word and the issues mentioned in Romans 12:2.
Another famous passage in today's reading in Jeremiah is this: “This is what the LORD says: If you can break my covenant with the day and the night so that one does not follow the other, only then will my covenant with my servant David be broken. Only then will he no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.”
These verses stood out to me in Proverbs 3 today:
My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.
Hang on to them,
…
You can go to bed without fear;
you will lie down and sleep soundly.
You need not be afraid of sudden disaster
or the destruction that comes upon the wicked,
for the LORD is your security.
I failed to look at the chapter break between 1Cor. 10 and 11. Note that one line was orphaned:
whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God. 33I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.

And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.
