🔥 Jeremiah 3

Jeremiah 3 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, ““They say, ‘If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man’s, should he return to her again?’ Wouldn’t that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me,” says Yahweh.” 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, “Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against Yahweh your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,’ says Yahweh.”” Jeremiah 3 opens with these words: ““They say, ‘If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man’s, should he return to her again?’ Wouldn’t that…” The line to keep is Jeremiah 3:15: “I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” Carry the word “give” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Jeremiah 3:15: “I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Jeremiah 3? Then try this: Read “I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” 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.
