🎺 Jeremiah 10

Jeremiah 10 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel!” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no…” Carry the word “shouldn” from that verse into the rest of the day.

What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
