Jeremiah 33:14-26 DISO Study Introduction

Jeremiah 33:14-26 DISO Study Introduction

Welcome to my fourth eight-week DISO study on biblical names of God! Today, we’re breaking ground in Jeremiah, learning about YHWH Tsidqenu, The LORD our righteousness.

This is new territory for me: I’ve not yet applied the DISO process to any of the Old Testament prophets, so I’m excited (and frankly, a little nervous!) about studying Jeremiah 33:14-26 this way. But I know the Holy Spirit is with me, and that means this is going to be good, even if it’s a bit of a challenge as I work through it all. I hope you’ll plan to check in with me (or even study the passage on your own!) over the next eight weeks and see how it goes.

Let’s Study Jeremiah 33:14-26! 

This week, I’ll begin by praying and surveying Jeremiah 33:14-26. If you want to study along with me, here’s what I recommend you start with:

  1. A copy of Jeremiah 33:14-26.
    I like to refer often to the text I’m studying and sometimes make notes on it, so I copy the passage from blueletterbible.org, paste it into a word processing program like Google Docs or MS Word, change the formatting to suit my preferences, and print it out. If you want to use the ESV translation, here’s a pdf of my Scripture study sheet with lots of room for doodles and notes.
  2. A study journal.
    We’ll spend the next seven weeks immersed in and learning about Jeremiah 33:14-16. Since the work we’ll do each week builds on what came before, plan to record at least some highlights from your work over the coming weeks. I’m old-school and like the pen-and-paper method for journaling my studies, but it’s okay if that doesn’t work for you. If you don’t have time to write out or type your notes, consider dictating them into a notes app or recording audio files instead.

Or, you may decide to try a few of the steps on your own as you feel led and/or just read my notes posted here. That’s great, too. You’ll get familiar with the process and see how the Spirit speaks to my situation. Either way, I appreciate you checking in with me, even if you can’t dig into Jeremiah 33:14-26 yourself right now.

Dig-In Challenges

So, here’s how I’ll be studying this week:

  1. PRAY: I’ll be creating a prayer with which I’ll start each of my weekly study sessions. Full disclosure: I usually just adapt a previous prayer. Though I’ve pretty much memorized it, I still write my prayer in my study journal as a reminder to pray each time I study this text this way.
  2. SURVEY: Then I’ll read Jeremiah 33:14-26, noting anything that makes me say, “huh?” (as in, “I wonder what that means?”) or “wow” (as in, “that is so awesome!”). I’ll record these and later ask the Spirit to direct me to the one I should dig into right now.

Or, you can always reach out to me with your questions through my contact page or at [email protected]. I’m looking forward to sharing what I discover in this process with you. I hope you’ll make a habit of checking in with me each week!
