First half of Jeremiah

| [[Proverbs 18:1910]] - [[Proverbs 18:11]]
| "The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe. The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it an unscalable wall."
| We might imagine that our money makes us impregnable like a well-built castle, but in the end security only comes from trusting God.
| "We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand."
| God as craftsman and technologist: a potter who chooses the raw materials, follows an intentional process, and makes use of tools (such as a potting wheel and kiln) in order to turn a design into a product.
See also [[Jeremiah 18:1]] - [[Jeremiah 18:6]].
|-| [[Jeremiah 1:18]]| Jeremiah was as strong as a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall| Also in [[Jeremiah 15:20]].|-| [[Jeremiah 2:13]]| Israel has forsaken God, the spring of living water, in favour of their own broken cistern.| In this modern world, we often think that our technological creations are making a perfect life for us. But in reality, we accept something far inferior to the abundant life that God intended ([John 10:10]]). |-| [[Jeremiah 6:27]] - [[Jeremiah 6:30]]| God uses Israel to 'test the metal' of other nations||-| [[Jeremiah 8:22]]| "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?"| |-| [[Jeremiah 10:1]] - [[Jeremiah 10:16]]| Against idols. A craftsman shapes it with a chisel, adorns it with silver and secures it with a nail to stop it falling over -- but it is no more powerful than a scarecrow in a melon patch! Every goldsmith should be shamed but their idols: the images are a fraud.||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | ||-| | |
