Theme: Daily Scripture
“And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and have not heard my voice, and have not walked in it.”
Reflection for Today
Let Jeremiah 9:13 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and have not heard my voice, and have not walked in it.”
Scripture rarely flatters us. It loves us enough to tell the truth, and then it stays with us while we learn to live that truth. In Jeremiah, the prophetic word unsettles comfort and awakens hope. God loves His people enough to call them back, and enough to promise a future.
Today's invitation under the theme of Daily Scripture is simple and serious. Write one sentence of response in a notebook or phone note: what you hear God asking, promising, or healing. Then do one small act that matches that sentence.
Prayer
Come, Holy Spirit. Open the Scriptures to me as You opened them to the apostles. In Jeremiah 9:13 I hear, “And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and have…” Give me understanding, give me desire, and give me the grace to obey with joy. Amen.
