Today is the sixth day of the month of October. Welcome to the daily audio Bible.

I am Brian and it is wonderful to be here with you today as we continue our journey into and through the fourth quarter of the year.

The changing of the seasons as well here in the northern hemisphere, things begin to cool down and get ready to rest for the winter.

Here in the Rolling Hills, a ton of sea of the leaves will really do their magic and it can be really, really lovely.

During this month and in the next month, of course, it depends on where you are in the world. It could be just about time to turn springtime if you are in the southern hemisphere.

If you're in the northern hemisphere depending on where you are, if you're up north, it's like, yeah, about time to snow.

It'll be nice and warm and leaves changing and everything here in the Rolling Hills of Tennessee for another month into November.

By November, it snows plenty of places in the northern hemisphere.

Anyway, I don't know how we got on a big thing about weather. I'm not really a weather man.

I guess I'm just looking outside as we prepare to take our next step forward and let's do more than just prepare. Let's take the next step forward.

We are working our way through the book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament.

We're reading from the new international version this week and today, Jeremiah chapter 6 verse 16 through 8 verse 7.

This is what the Lord says.

Stand at the crossroads and look, ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it and you will find rest for your souls.

But you said, we will not walk in it.

I appointed watchmen over you and said, listen to the sound of the trumpet which you said, we will not listen.

Therefore, here you nations, you who are witnesses, observe what will happen to them.

Here you earth, I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.

What do I care about incense from Shiba or sweet columnists from a distant land?

Your burn offerings are not acceptable, your sacrifices do not please me.

Therefore, this is what the Lord says.

I will put obstacles before this people.
