Cannot pick and choose

Pick and choose, is that how we are to read God's Word? In Jer ch 34-36 ,we read of King Jehoiakim having Jeremiah's prophecy from God read and then cutting it up and throwing it into a fire! What blasphemy we say! Yet don't we do similar when we pick and choose which of God's commands we follow? Is it better to not know, or to know and choose to not follow? Certainly doom happened to the king, what waits for us? If I'd only..... Don't let that sentence be on your lips. God has given us another day to make things right. Repentance is more than just being sorry or ashamed. It is absolutely turning from wickedness. Make a decision to read the Word with a responsive heart! Make the decision to accept and follow. And not just the parts you like!
