Today’s Reading: Jeremiah 10:1–16 “They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do.”   (Jeremiah 10:5)   Jeremiah exposes the foolishness of idols. They are man-made, powerless, and lifeless.

He has been faithful to all the commandments that Jesus mentions: ‘You must not kill. You must not commit adultery. You must not bring false witness.
