Jeremiah
"Have You utterly rejected Judah?"
Text: Jeremiah 14:19
JEREMIAH CONTINUES TO PLEAD
Jeremiah was aware that God told him that his prayers for the good of the children of Judah would not be answered (Jeremiah 14:11). Nevertheless, his love for the nation compelled him to seek God in prayer. He sought, if nothing else, a deeper comprehension of God’s plan for the future!
“Have You utterly rejected Judah?
Has Your soul loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that there is no healing for us?
We looked for peace, but there was no good;
And for the time of healing, and there was trouble.
We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness
And the iniquity of our fathers,
For we have sinned against You.”
Jeremiah 14:19-20
