Today we read the fourth chapter of the Apostle Paul’s first letter to Timothy and two chapters of Jeremiah
September 18: 1 Timothy 4, Jeremiah 11, Jeremiah 12 (click on the chapter to begin reading).
1 Timothy 4. The Apostle Paul gave advice to Timothy and prophesied the coming great apostasy, but as a good servant of Jesus Christ he should not give in to it but be devoted to the ministry and let no man despise him for his youth.
Jeremiah 11. The covenant God made with the Israelis was conditional; God promised to be with them as long as they obeyed the commands, but they did not, so the covenant was broken. The chapter also describes a plot against Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 12, Jeremiah poured out his complaint. The LORD gave His answer.
