August 12, Day 224

Today's Reading

"People from many nations will pass by the ruins of this city and say to one another, `Why did the Lord destroy such a great city?' And the answer will be, `Because they violated their covenant with the Lord their God by worshiping other gods.'" (Jeremiah 22:8, 9 NLT) Right after those verse, God went on to describe through Jeremiah that one of the great sins was how the rich king had no problem trampling on the poor as he built his lavish palace. What an apt warning for us in this rich nation!
