gnat in Jeremiah 15
NAT
This creature shows up in Jeremiah 15:17: “I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Jeremiah 15:17
“I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.”
What kids can learn
When you hear gnat in Jeremiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Jeremiah 15:17 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
