Scripture Reading 

Jeremiah 31:23-40

Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 31:34b

“I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs. I, the LORD, have spoken.” 

Reflect

Reread verses 31-34.This is the high point of Jeremiah’s message. In God’s new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah, God will write the laws directly on the hearts and minds of the people, and God will forgive their sins. What does having God’s law written on your heart mean to you?

Pray

Loving and merciful God, thank you for being my God and for your law which is now written on my heart. Open my heart and mind to your Word, that I may live each day in accord with your will. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those seeking spiritual renewal.
