Jen’s Online Study
Welcome to my Bible study!
Here’s where you’ll discover my notes as I experience God’s Word using the Digging into Scripture Ourselves (DISO) study method.
I hope my posts are helpful for you, but even more, I hope you’re inspired to study on your own. If there’s anything I can do to facilitate that, please contact me here or email me.
This Week’s Featured Post
Jeremiah 33:14-26 Step 1: Pray & Step 2 Survey
NEW TO THIS STUDY? START HERE.
Hello! I’m glad you’re joining me for this study of a sliver of Jeremiah’s prophecies associated with another of God’s names, The LORD our righteousness.
As usual, I’ve written a prayer I’ll be repeating each time I study this passage. But, unlike all my other studies since I’ve been noting Huh? and Wow! moments; I didn’t really experience any Wow!s this time. I think that’s because I’m so new to studying prophecy. Even so, I’m positive the Spirit will show me plenty of things that will wow me as this study progresses. God’s Word is absolutely that awesome—even the hard parts! I hope you’ll stick with me through the remaining seven weeks and embrace what we discover together!
Last Week’s Work
MY PRAYER
Father God, thank You for prophecy in Your Word. Even though it might be hard to understand, I know it has value for me today. Open my eyes, ears, and heart to see, hear, and connect with the message You have for me now in Jeremiah 33:14-26, and help me understand and apply it for Your glory. I pray for this in Jesus’s name. Amen.
HUH? MOMENTS
As I mentioned above, all I had were Huh? moments this time. It sure feels like there’s a lot to investigate about this passage!
- What promise did the LORD make to the houses of Israel and Judah that will be fulfilled in the coming days?
- What is referred to as it that will be called The LORD is our righteousness?
- Does the covenant with David (characterized as unbreakable) refer to v17?
- Does the covenant with the Levitical priests (also characterized as unbreakable) refer to v18?
- Who are these people who trash-talk God’s chosen race? And who are the two clans the LORD chose?
- The last two verses of this passage are particularly confusing to me. What is the LORD really saying there?!
Dig-In Challenges
Here’s how to work along with me in your own study this week:
- PRAY for the Spirit to help you choose a focus point for the remainder of this study using the Huh?s I mentioned above, or the results of your work this past week. Then, in your journal, record that personal treasure He identifies, along with any verse(s) relating to it from the study text.
- MINE: Read Jeremiah 33:14-26, focusing on three factors describing the setting of this text. Note anything the Spirit emphasizes about the characters involved, any locations mentioned, and any timeframes discussed.
I’m looking forward to sharing my notes with you next week!
