Week #27 (July 01-07)

Hello Readers,

Here is the schedule for this week:

Monday: Proverbs 15
Tuesday: 2 Samuel 22-23
Wednesday: 2 Samuel 24
Thursday: Jeremiah 1-3
Friday: Jeremiah 4-5
Saturday: Jeremiah 6-8


Jeremiah is one of the biggest books in the Bible, yet it seems that many Christians know very little about him. So as you read, here's a bit more background information about Jeremiah. He is often called the "weeping prophet" because of his persistent message of God's judgment, prophesied to the nation of Judah leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem. He often declared the coming judgment of God, however throughout the book we also see God's concern for repentance and righteousness in both individuals as well as nations. Jeremiah also prophesied of the new covenant in which God would write his law on human hearts so that they would know him and he would remember their sin no more (See Jeremiah 31:33-34).

Happy reading!

Psalms all week? Why the break from Jeremiah?
