Today, I am reading and commenting on  Jeremiah 49-50.

I am not sure how I am going to tie my thoughts about today’s passage together.  Jeremiah prophesied the destruction of Ammon, Edom, Damascus, Kedar and Hazor, Elam, and finally Babylon.  Jeremiah warned Ammon that their trust in wealth would prove misplaced, and he warned Edom that their trust in their geographic protections would prove to have been foolish.  He went on to prophesy that each of the other nations would suffer because they had not relied on God, because they had not followed His directions.  Actually, his prophecy against Babylon was more a warning to those who put their trust in Babylon’s might.  Do we put our trust in our riches? Or our geographic locations?  Or, perhaps we put our trust in the power of our government?  If we put our trust in anything other than God, we will face terrible suffering.

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