As I  read the readings for the day, Jeremiah 44 - 46, I felt a little bit depressed. Why was it so difficult for the people of Judah to obey the Lord their God and live. They brought to themselves and to their families very harsh punishments from the Lord. Do we know better?

Please read all three chapters, Jeremiah 44 - 46. 

May the Lord richly bless you!
