Today's Reading

Jeremiah. "17 They keep saying to those who despise my word,‘Don’t worry! The Lord says you will have peace!’
And to those who stubbornly follow their own desires,
they say, ‘No harm will come your way!’" I think this has a direct relationship with churches today who have whitewashed certain sins -- clearly defined as sin in Scripture -- and told those committing them that their sin is perfectly all right.

2 Thessalonians. In this little letter, Paul addresses the church in Thessalonica about the persecution they are experiencing. The final judgment will come upon all who don't know Christ. Until then, His followers can go through some very difficult times.

Psalms. The world (Satan is called the god of this world) lusts for Jerusalem, wanting the people of Israel to be wiped out. God has given the Jews hard heads as well as hearts that defend their nation and their land fiercely.

Proverbs. I find it hard to listen to criticism, but I am learning to trust God with it.

How is He at work in your life?
