Psalm 117. The shortest Psalm of them all with only two verses, but they are full of praise.

Psalm 118. This is probably the best example of Hebrew poetry with verses repeated with only small variations. It is quoted  in the New Testament in many places, even by Jesus directly.

Jeremiah 43. Jeremiah was taken to Egypt.

Titus 2, Paul wrote to Titus that in order to have a sound church he must teach sound doctrine. And it is all through saving grace.

October 3: Titus 1, Jeremiah 37, Jeremiah 38 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Titus 1. After the customary greeting, the apostle Paul instructed Titus to appointing elders and listed the qualifications for elders and their duties. Be careful, some Cretans are corrupt!

Jeremiah 37. Zedekiah held on to the vain hope that the Chaldeans would be defeated. Jeremiah prophesied otherwise, so he was put in prison.

Jeremiah 38. Jeremiah was in the dungeon and near death so they pulled him up. Zedekiah feared for his life, and Jeremiah’s advice was: Give in to Babylon and you will live.

Psalm 115 through Psalm 118 are part of the Hallel (praise) Psalms and are sung after the Passover meal. Psalm 115 gives praise that the Lord is our help and shield. Not so the heathens, their idols are worthless.

Psalm 116. The Lord heard my prayers, I will pay my vow of gratitude with the sacrifice of praise.

Jeremiah 34, Zedekiah was warned by God to give liberty to the slaves, as commanded by Him, but the slaves were not freed, so bad things were going to happen.

In between the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and his letter to Titus we read two Psalms and one chapter of Jeremiah.

September 30: Psalm 113, Psalm 114, Jeremiah 31 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Psalm 113. This Psalm is part of the “Hallel”, consisting of Psalm 113-118. Two are sung before and three after the Passover meal. It begins and ends with Hallelujah, and praises God how He lifts up the lowly, even the barren woman.

Psalm 114 is the second Psalm of the Hallel. In eight short verses it retells of God’s miracles of delivering them out of Egypt and into the promised land. Short and to the point.

Jeremiah 31 is a most remarkable chapter. Jeremiah in a dream heard God say “Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love” and continued by promising that the remnant of Israel will be saved. Then, in verse 15 God provided an abrupt change “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.” Then,returning to the dream came an even more remarkable statement “O thou backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.” After this Jeremiah woke up from his pleasant dream. God continued speaking, promising mercy on Ephraim, future prosperity to Israel, and promised the New Covenant: “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

In between the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and his letter to Titus we read one Psalm and two chapters of Jeremiah.

September 29: Psalm 112, Jeremiah 29, Jeremiah 30 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Psalm 112 like Psalm 111 is an acrostic Psalm, meaning that each line (not verse) begins with the next letter in the Hebrew alphabet, starting with Aleph and ending with Taw. It tells of the blessings that follow the man that fears the LORD. Not so the wicked.

Jeremiah 29. Jeremiah sent a letter to the exiles, a letter of hope, and a promise of return “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord“. Then follows a message to Shemaiah, a not so promising message.

Jeremiah 30, a beautiful chapter promising the restoration of Israel.

Today we read the last chapter of the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and two chapters of Jeremiah.

September 28: 2 Timothy 4, Jeremiah 27, Jeremiah 28 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

2 Timothy 4 The Apostle Paul gave the charge to Timothy: Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season. At the end of the letter Paul gave his farewell message. Although he called himself the abandoned apostle, the Lord is faithful, now and forever.

Jeremiah 27. the prophecies continue; Babylon will put nations under a yoke , Judah will serve Nebuchadnezzar.

Jeremiah 28. The prophet Hananiah was proven false by events. Rather than defeating Babylon, Judah would go into captivity.

Today we read the third chapter of the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and two chapters of Jeremiah.

September 27: 2 Timothy 3 , Jeremiah 25, Jeremiah 26 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

2 Timothy 3. The apostle Paul spoke of perilous times and perilous men, but as for Timothy, he was to be the man of God, and keep in mind“ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

Jeremiah 25. God gave Jeremiah this big prophesy: Seventy years of captivity and judgment on the nations.

Jeremiah 26. For giving bad news Jeremiah received death threats, but the priests managed to hold off the mob with pointing out what was prophesied is consistent with earlier prophecies, so he was let free (for a while).
