4:10 Then I
said, ‘Ah, Lord God, surely you have utterly deceived this people and Jerusalem
saying It shall be well with you: whereas the sword has reached their very
life.’ There was a discrepancy between the message God gave him, and the
message all the other “prophets of Jehovah” were giving. He still thought
those other prophets were prophesying what God told them to prophesy. If they
were, then it was God who was deceiving the people.
How slow we
are to understand what is really going on. How quick we are to blame God. How
patient God is with us. He never upbraided Jeremiah for this accusation.
Thank you,
God for being patient with me even when my heart is slow to understand and slow
to believe. Lord, I believe, help my unbelief.
