Jeremiah
"Let me talk with You about Your Judgments"
Text: Jeremiah 12:1
TALKING TO GOD CANDIDLY
Jeremiah maintained a very close relationship with the Lord. He was able to speak to the LORD candidly about what he felt deep down. (Another prophet who spoke to God about the prosperity of the wicked was Habakkuk.)
“Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead with You;
Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments.
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?
You have planted them, yes, they have taken root;
They grow, yes, they bear fruit.
You are near in their mouth
But far from their mind.”
Jeremiah 12:1-2
