The Weeping Prophet

For the rest of the year, my Bible reading/devotional time etc is going to be spend in the book of Jeremiah. I want to to through it thouroughly and let it seep over me and into my body. I'm breaking it down into 13 sections of 4 chapters each and I'm going to spend 10 days going over each section.

GOd is using Jeremiah to constantly call Israel back to faithfulness to Him. Over and over are the pleadings to put away idols and abominations, act right and return to The Lord. That's a pretty broad theme to carry over 52 chapters. In some ways, it will be like shooting a beam of light through a prism and seeing the different lights that come out. so it is with the theme of abandoning sin and returning to God. How many different ways can Jeremiah say this? Which ones will make an impact on me? I too want to do all that I can to abandon sin and be with God as much as possible. My prayer is that God would use the words of Jeremiah to impact my life in a permanent way.
