PAY ATTENTION

Chapter 33
v.1-12 the deliverance of Judah from the invader
V.13-24 the consequences of this deliverance on the inhabitants of Jerusalem
The contrasts between the two halves are amazing--the people with God/the people without God. i.e. the church/the world. Why do we still have such a hard time choosing? This blessing of free will is also our curse, and the more "democracy" we get the harder we are.

Chapter 34
"Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you peoples! let the earth hear, and all that is in it,"
Yesterday I went for hiking with Alan. It took us three hours to finish instead of two because we did not pay attention to a road sign. God is gracious . He gave us a clear life direction map(the bible). However, we always overlook , neglect.....it.

Today I have read a similar news about not paying attention:
拜山婦只顧講電話墮墓

Hebrews 2:1
"We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away."
