Day 343 - Read Jeremiah 17-18

The Lord continued to condemn His people for turning to other gods and trusting in man. The man who turned from the Lord is cursed, but the man who trusts in the Lord is blessed. Jeremiah asked the Lord to deliver him from his enemies. The Lord commanded His people to keep the Sabbath day holy. He would bless His people only if they obeyed His command. The Lord told Jeremiah that His people were like clay and the Lord was the potter. He said He would fashion blessings for those who turned to Him and followed His commands. Jeremiah once again asked the Lord to deliver him from those who sought to kill him.
