August 17, 2024 Bible Study — Set Up Road Signs

Today, I am reading and commenting on  Jeremiah 31-32.

I was struck by something in today’s passage and am going to write from a different perspective than I am normally willing to take.  In Chapter 31 verse 21, Jeremiah writes:
Set up road signs;
    put up guideposts.
Take note of the highway,
the road that you take.
As I read this I felt like God was speaking through that to us today.  God is telling us to set up road signs and guideposts to direct people to Him.  In the past such signs had been created by those who went before us in the Lord, but our society has torn them down, or twisted them to point in the wrong direction.  It is past due time for those of us who worship the Lord to replace those signs and guideposts.  And what are those road signs and guideposts?  They are our actions and how we interact with others.  Let us be imitators of God, who forgives our wickedness and forgets our sins.  If God has done that for us, surely we can do that for our fellow Man.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
