I won't report each and every day on my reading, but I'll do it to start with at least so that together we develop the habit of reading the Bible for at least five minutes each day. I'm not reading for preparation of anything, just simply to listen for what it is that God might be saying to me personally.
Today I read through Jeremiah 4-6. In it God continues to blast the people for their lack of faith and how far they have gone away from the intent that God had for them. The word of hope in the midst of it is that no matter how bad it is God will not completely destroy them (or allow them to be destroyed). It is a hard word to hear with all the things that are going on in the world around us right now. With the financial issues, war and violence, etc. it seems like we are not far from the people of Jeremiah's day. It doesn't seem like we ever learn.
