Jeremiah 17
Jeremiah used the illustration of sin as an iron tool which is used as an engraving instrument written on the hearts of the people of Jerusalem.
Do we really understand what our sinful nature really is?

Application:
The longer you have become a Christian, the more you realize how sinful your nature is and how much God's grace means to you.

Verses to meditate on:
5This is what the LORD says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who depends on flesh for his strength
and whose heart turns away from the LORD.

9 The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?

Jeremiah 17 with Commentaries, verse by verse

Psalm 78, with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 78:56-64
Is a maskil of Asaph. Verses 56-64 is che desrciption about rebellion from the Isralites in the promised land. This is seen frequently seen in the book of Judges. We see that when the people rejected God, He turned his back on them and allowed the inhabitants of the land to attack them. We, hopefully, should learn from other people's mistakes. We should look at what God did to the Israelites and learn how God blessed them when they were obedient and caused adversity on them, when they sinned.
