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 49-50.

    I am not quite sure what to write about today’s passage. The one message that runs through the predictions of doom and destruction for various nations is that all of these nations were proud and complacent. They were confident that they would withstand the attacks. Each, for their own reasons, thought that they were immune to the rising tide of violence. The lesson to be learned here is that we cannot get security from any human source. Wealth will not protect us, geography will not protect us, military might will not protect us, nor will any combination of the above. It is only the strong arm of God which can protect us from the coming calamity.
