I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Jeremiah 13-15.

There are two elements in today’s passage.  First, God tells Jeremiah to not even pray for the people of Judah any longer.  The time has past when God will listen to any prayers asking Him to turn aside His wrath against them.  However, God also tells Jeremiah that He will take care of him; that there are still a few among the people who have been faithful whom God will protect.  If we go back and look at what God tells Jeremiah concerning those against whom He will not relent, we discover that they all have a key thing in common.  They may cry out to God for salvation, but they will refuse to change their evil ways.  We must be willing to change our ways when God shows us how we are sinning, or He will not listen to our cries for aid.
