Today's Reading is Jeremiah 8.4-22
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Jeremiah 8
Jeremiah 8.4-22
Sin and punishement is discussed in 8.4-9.26
Jeremiah spoke of the imoendeng destruction as if it already happened (v. 20). Many false prophets conradicted what Jeremiah was warning the people about the impending disaster. Just like today, how many of the people of Judah wanted to hear bad news. We do not understand the consequences of sin just like the people in Jerusalem. We do not understand how terrible sin is in the eyes of God. Every once in a while, it is revealed to us as shown in today's and tommorow's passage. We are so ignorant and blind of our sinfulness and we are so self-satisfied, we have no need for God.
Verse to meditate on:
6 I have listened attentively,
but they do not say what is right.
No one repents of his wickedness,
saying, "What have I done?"
Each pursues his own course
like a horse charging into battle.
7 Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
observe the time of their migration.
But my people do not know
the requirements of the LORD.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then is there no healing
for the wound of my people?
The area of Gilead was an important source of spices and medicinal herbs. We know the balm in Gilead is our Lord Jesus Christ, He is the Great Physician, the One who takes away the sins of the world and by whose stripes are we healed.
