Learn not the way of the nations, nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens. (Jeremiah 10:2 ESV)
Listen
Sometimes the multiplicity of television channels (or internet sites, or radio commentators, or books, or magazines) is overwhelming. So many messages. So many claims of truth. So many loud voices.
And this is nothing new. Jeremiah acknowledges that nations and nature have a lot to say. Nations have a ‘way.’ And the heavens often seem to portend doom.
But God has truth. His truth contrasts with national philosophies. His way as THE way. His truth contrasts with an empty study of nature and It’s lessons. His way is THE way.
The multiplicity of voices do need to frighten us, intimidate us, de-faith us, or deceive us. We have God’s way. Embrace it with your ears and heart.
We are peculiar, God tells us truth.
