This is one of my favorite parts of Jeremiah. The prophet is imprisoned, but the Lord tells him to get a scroll and write down all of his messages. Baruch takes them all down as Jeremiah dictates. King Jehoiakim wasn't very open to the messages. In today's reading also we hear Jeremiah's next to last interview with King Zedekiah.
These verses from chapter 4 are inspiring to me:
Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path.
Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil.
Today we hear the famous Love Chapter of 1 Corinthians. I note that, when considered in context, most of this chapter is not all that appropriate for a wedding.
