Re: Verse reading – Jeremiah 36 (Day Three)
“When they heard all these words, they looked at each other in fear.” When people do not fear God, there is no terror that cannot be carried out by the mind of man. Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, someone who knew a thing or two about terror, said, “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” The fear of God is not a life lived in terror of the Deity. Rather, it is a life lived under the righteous frown of the One who will call us to account for every terror that comes from within us. If we will fear God, we will be careful with those whom he has created.
I so appreciate these reflections. They are a regular part of my preparation for teaching the lesson.
God bless all of you. Have a good day.
