We got some funny looks (and singing about bullfrogs) when we told people we were naming our first son Jeremiah.
We picked the name because Aaron and I both like reading the book of Jeremiah (in the Bible) and spent a lot of time dwelling on the truths of that book during our time dating.
It's been a little while since I've read Jeremiah, but the past couple weeks my precepts Bible study has been in Jeremiah. Let me just say that I continue to love the rich truthes found in this book...
"Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the LORD.
"But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD. "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
"They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."
Jeremiah 31:31-34
