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

Today, I am reading and commenting on Jeremiah 26-27.

If God would destroy Shiloh, where His Tabernacle had been, and later destroy Jerusalem, where His Temple was built, because they would not listen to Him and the prophets He sent, then He will destroy this country if people continue to refuse to listen to Him and the messengers He sends.  It is kind of scary to feel compelled to carry God’s message to people when I read this passage, because Jeremiah faced serious threat, and other godly prophets were killed, for relaying God’s message which people did not want to hear.  However, I find it much scarier to refuse to speak God’s message.  God protected Jeremiah and kept him from the suffering that many of his contemporaries experienced.  And we know that those prophets who were killed for speaking God’s word have entered into God’s presence and live there with Him.  Pray for the people of this world that they may turn to God before their sin brings destruction down upon them.
