👑 Jeremiah 15

Jeremiah 15 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Yahweh said, “Most certainly I will strengthen you for good. Most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.” Jeremiah 15 opens with these words: “Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people. Cast them out of my sight,…” The line to keep is Jeremiah 15:16: “Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.” Carry the word “words” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Jeremiah 15:16: “Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Jeremiah 15? Then try this: Read “Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am…” once more. 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.
