Reading
SAA Notes
The end has come! Ezekiel and Jeremiah were unique – their words of doom did come to pass. Notice the closing sentences in chapters 6 & 7: Then they will know that I am the Lord! The exiles were enslaved but safe. When the doom fell, these exiles did remember and believe. From them came the people who inhabited Israel in Jesus’ day.
SJA Notes
* Gracious God, do not let Your law perish! Please write it on our hearts.
“They seek a vision from the prophet, while the law perishes from the priest and counsel from the elders.”
What is the leadership of the church to be about?
Further. What are _we_ to be about, God’s people?
THE LAW. HIS COUNSEL.
GOD’S WORD – GOD’S WISDOM.
Are we people who grow our understanding of God’s word?
Are we people who seek our God’s wisdom so that our own counsel is right?
Let us be convicted to write God’s law upon our hearts as we can, seeking after His wisdom – So that we might be right and holy in our counsel.
* God of Light and Righteousness,
Your word is before us. Please write it on our hearts with Your permanence.
Your wisdom is before us. May we choose it.
Help us Lord, for we on our own are useless and stupid, prone to wander.
Thank You for Jesus, that in His we see Your wisdom pure and true.
Thank You that our counsel can be reformed to reflect Yours.
Amen.
