Daily Bible Reading- 2 Thessalonians 1 Jeremiah 45 Jeremiah 46

I try to daily go to www.compassbiblechurch.org where they post the "Daily Bible Reading" for the day. Here are my comments on the passage.

Rebecca Millsap Says:

God, help our church to model the Thessalonian church. Your faith is growing more and more and love for each other is increasing. We want to be able to persevere DURING persecutions and trails. What a great introductory chapter. May we be counted worthy of the kingdom of God. (5) We thank you God for being a just God (6), knowing that those who wrong you, or wrong us, will be punished in your timing (8).

Jeremiah 45:4-
Help us Lord not to disobey your commands. Verse 7 shows that despite God’s warning, they entered Egypt in disobedience to the Lord. God said in chapter 42:13-18 He commanded them not to enter Egypt or He would destroy them, by fire, by pestilence, by famine.

Help us God to take heed to your warnings, to stop, listen and obey! 46:4-5 says, that prophets told them not to do these detestable things but they did not listen, pay attention or turn from their wickedness.

It angers God when we make anything an idol over Him and worship things created instead of our creator! Let’s continually remind ourselves again and again and again to check our lives for anything we may be placing in front of God!

What defiance in verse 15, the Jews said to Jeremiah the profit “we will not listen to the message you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD.” Woa.
