Day 305..."Jeremiah speaks but is ignored...Paul classics"

Jeremiah warns not to take the remnant from Judah to Egypt. When ignored... stones are placed in the road as a symbol of the overthrow of Egypt by the Babylonians. According to my study notes there is a historical account of Babylons invasion of Egypt.

Paul gives clues he has a weak appearance in person. He says he can be bold in writing and in person...interesting insight into Paul the man.

Paul has several of my favorite quotes in today's reading. These actually are good to commit to memory.

"and take every thought captive to obey Christ" (Think about Christ with every thought)

"Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding." (Do not compare to others but to Christ...as human beings we can get off track and settle for far too less)

"For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends." (If we lived by this one we would worry a great deal less...can we say who needs a big ego?)
