Passage: Jeremiah 44
Notes: The Jewish men's decision to flee to Egypt placed them right back in the midst
of idolatry, and they ignored or (more likely) supported their wives' worship of
the 'Queen of Heaven.' When Jeremiah confronts them, they reject his message
with revisionist history ascribing what blessings they had in the past to their
former idolatry. -> We are responsible for the environments we place our
family in, and for what worship we allow in our households. A culture that
teaches 'to everyone his own' should not distract us from our call to live right
worship in our homes. Note that while God's message came to the adults first, he
vowed to hold every member of their family responsible.
