We have learnt from the last verse in Ecclesiastes, to fear God and keep His commandments. Whether we are an individual or a nation it does not matter.

Lamentations is much the book of Jeremiah in a nutshell. It also gives us some insight as to what to expect, if we mess with God. Neither are his prophets, teachers or ministers to be taken for granted.

Jeremiah’s life was made miserable by people who were blinded by sin. He had been given a message by God, much the same as a minister prepares a sermon then preaches it. There is much we can learn from sermons especially in this day and age. With all this hi-tech equipment available there is no such thing as a boring sermon.

A good idea is to take notes, and discuss them with your family after lunch. One church I went to many years ago had home study Bible groups. Every so often we would have a sermon study. We would take notes on Sunday then dissect the message at our Wednesday group. This really helped bring the sermon alive. It reinforced what was being taught over the pulpit.

It has helped me to develop a healthy fear of God and to obey His commandments. Now what do you do?
