Scripture Union Daily Guide 3rd May 2026 -Outline
Today’s passage revealed another problem of Moab, pride. Read vs. 26, 29, 30 & 42 again and take note of other words used to describe Moab’s pride. To defy the Lord implies that Moab openly resisted, confronted, challenged and refused to obey God (vs. 26, 42). They were also boastful and ridiculed Israel as is often the habit of proud people. See v.30b for God’s conclusion about all their boasting. What would God do to Moab because of their pride (vs. 26, 28, 34–35)? We should be wary of pride. God hates and judges pride anywhere He finds it (1 Peter 5:5).
How does vs. 40–44 make you feel? Whereas Moab is described as a dove (v.28b), the Babylonian army that God would use to punish them is described as an eagle (v.40). There will be no escape for the people of Moab (vs. 40–44). Knowing what would become of Moab, Jeremiah mourns for them in advance (vs. 31–33, 36–39). What can we learn from this?
V.47 is an unexpected end. If God could extend hope to Moab, there is hope for the worst sinner who comes to God through Christ (see 2 Peter 3:9).
Prayer: In this generation, there are many who defy and oppose God, His purpose and Kingdom. Pray that God will touch their hearts and open their eyes to see that they are heading to destruction.
