Our readings today focused on teaching and knowing God. Most of our knowledge of God comes through Scripture – not always because the Scripture adequately describes God, but because Scripture provides insight into the person of God. Our Hebrew Scripture writer, Jeremiah, was trying to convince Israel that – while they were all going to perish without ever seeing Jerusalem again – God would continue to be with them, just like God had been with them since the beginning of time. God assures us that if we are honest with ourselves God will be closer to us than our breath or our heartbeat; that no one will have to tell us what God is like because we will know God intimately. That’s our challenge today – to find God present in the difficulties of life and the noise telling us “the apocalypse is upon us” and to help others do the same thing.
