July 1
Read Jeremiah 18-22, then Pray Psalm 20. The story of Jeremiah at the Potter’s house is memorable. The metaphor is powerful on an individual level, let alone our neighborhoods, towns and even our land. Pray about how the Lord is molding and shaping you to be a part of His bigger plan!
July 2
Read Jeremiah 23-25, then Pray Psalm 21. Zoom in on 23:6, “The Lord Our Righteousness” is a title for Jesus, (remember, Jesus means “The Lord Saves”). But this name is a direct foreshadowing of what Jesus would do for each one of us, and this passage is a prophetic announcement hundreds of years before the fact!
July 3
Read Jeremiah 26-29, then Pray Psalm 22. Chapter 29 is a passage to remember. The context is as bad as it gets, and it is in the middle of this great calamity that God promises verse 11. Always take this passage together with 2 Corinthians 1:20!
July 4
Read Jeremiah 30-32, then Pray Psalm 23. Chapter 31 is among the most important in the Old Testament! Study especially verses 31-34 (remembering this is poetry). Here we see the bold promise of the New Covenant, which we celebrate and receive every time we participate in the Body and Blood of Christ through The Lord’s Supper!
July 5
Read Jeremiah 33-36, then Pray Psalm 24. Jeremiah can’t stop talking about Jesus (whom he calls “the righteous branch” and The Lord Our Righteousness”), who will bring about total restoration for God’s people, ALL of them!
July 6
Read of Jeremiah 37-39, then Pray Psalm 25. Chapter 39 tells the story of the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC. All of Jeremiah’s warnings have led to this moment.
July 7
Read Jeremiah 40-44, then Pray Psalm 26. The wrath of God pours out. Resist the temptation to “look away” or pretend God won’t do such things. And note to whom He brings His wrath! This is not against the nations, this is against His people. Look at it. And ponder the sheer Grace of Jesus who rescues us from such fates in this world and the far worse fates in the world to come! See 1 Corinthians 10:11-13!
