Read Jeremiah 8:18-22 and Jeremiah 9:1-6 and write a summary of what Jeremiah is feeling for his people as he wrote this for his people as his first audience during his lifetime.
Do you share Jeremiah’s feelings as you read it and apply it to those that call upon the name of the LORD but no longer are loyal to HIM?
Do you think that it could apply to your own life today, if so why and if not why; using biblical references to back up your answer and list them below?
Jeremiah 9:7 Fill in the blank using the ESV.
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts:
“Behold, I __________ refine them and test them, for what else can I do, because of my people?…”
How has the LORD tested and refined the people of the LORD over the past 18 months in the nation in which you live?
What about you personally?
Close today’s session with a song of praise and then a time of prayer as you seek the LORD and give HIM praise for what He has brought through and even in the midst of it give HIM praise.
