TWO VERSES
Today's reading: Jeremiah 7-11

"While you were doing these wicked things, say the Lord, I spoke to you about it repeatedly, but you would not listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer." Jeremiah 7:13 NLT

"But my people would not listen to me. They kept on doing whatever they wanted following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward." Jeremiah 7:24 NLT

Two verses, Lord?

One wasn't enough for me to chew on, think over, meditate upon?

Twice you bring to my attention areas where I am sorely missing the mark You set for me as a standard?

I hear You. You have my attention. You have my deepest apologies and most heart-felt regret as I stand before You and admit these verses convict me.

Convict me deeply.

I hear You speak so loudly and clearly on so many occasions. I hear You repeat warnings. I feel the gentle nudges You give me to go in the right direction. I feel the discomfort in my heart as I go against the leading of the Holy Spirit.

So, yes, these verses are for me. Specifically. Personally. Intimately. With all the loving discipline You provide, for me.
