Today is the fifth day of October.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

I am Brian. It's great to be here with you today, just like it is every day.

Here we are bringing to a close another one of the weeks

that wind their way through all of the peaks and valleys of a year.

And I am grateful today and every day that we have the global campfire to come together

around and take the next step forward.

And our next step forward has us in the Book of Jeremiah now,

and we will wind our way through the peaks and valleys of this book.

Today, Jeremiah Chapter 4,

verse 19 through 6.

15.

I said, oh, the feeling in the pit of my stomach. I writhe in anguish, oh the pain in my heart. My heart pounds within me. I cannot keep silent,

for I hear the sound of the trumpet, the sound of the battle cry pierces my soul.

I see one destruction after another taking place, so that the whole land lies in ruins. I see our

ten suddenly destroyed. Their curtains torn down in a mere instant. How long must I see the enemy's battle flags and hear the military signals

of their bugles? The Lord answered,

This will happen because my people are foolish.

They do not know me.

They are like children who have no sense.

They have no understanding.

They are skilled at doing evil.
