Jeremiah 12 - Day 662 (link to reading)
Scripture: Jeremiah 12:1-4 Commentary (thewarehouse.blog): Jeremiah is struggling. He watched as his words have gone out and no one heeds to what he’s spoken. He sees the wicked prospering despite the warnings from God. His frustration and hardship has grown personal as God speaks later of his own brothers giving lip service to him. They say one thing to his face but actually are betraying and speaking ill of him when they get a chance. His patience running on empty he wants to see those who are so rebellious against God receive His justice. Been there? I know I have. There have been many times when I’ve been burdened for someone who has walked away or has even been brazenly defiant in their rejection of God. The heaviness strong at times, I pray that God will use whatever it takes to bring them in alignment with Him. And… nothing happens. All of the emotions Jeremiah has are front and center within me. Application: God already knows how we feel so be honest with Him and ourselves. In this example, God gives us the permission to express what's already within our hearts. However, I didn't like His response so I guess, it's more for us than YHWH taking action and doing what we ask. Prayer: Lord, Thy will be done... Comments are closed.
