Jeremiah 8 · Grade 2

Birds Know Their Times

Name Date

Read the Story

God made the stork and the swallow. They know when to fly away. They know when to come back.

God's people did not know his ways. They did not turn back to him. Jeremiah was sad. He wanted them to be healed.

Memory Verse

“Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times. The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don’t know Yahweh’s law.”

Jeremiah 8:7 (WEB)
