verses read: Jeremiah 1
prayer: 5 minutes
Was reading the table of contents when the book of Jeremiah seemed to jump out at me. So I’ve decided to make this book my next set of reading. So, from one of the shortest books to one of the longest. Seems pretty sensible. According to my Study Bible, the book of Jeremiah is the longest book in terms of number of words. But I guess that also depends on which translation.
Chapter one is about Jeremiah’s call to become a prophet. He was called to his office even before he was born, makes you wonder what God was doing with us even before we ourselves came into this world. He was called to pronounce bad news against Israel for their sin of turning away from God.
Today was pretty alright day. Had my midterm progress talk, which went fine. Then had council meeting at night. Got home and am now typing this entry. Didn’t go to the gym as I didn’t really have time to. But will be going to tomorrow. Been putting on weight, and that’s not very acceptable.
