Jeremiah 1-4, Psalm 130, 2 Corinthians 9
They did not say, Where is the Lord? Jeremiah 2:6 (ESV)
It is easy in our grief, challenges, and wantonness to ask, ‘where is the Lord?’ These are opportunities to cry out, chances to seek a power greater than what we can attain on our own in this world. The question comes in the most dire of circumstances. Sometimes. But what if it doesn’t come?
It happens more than you think. We grumble and complain about our lives but do not ask, ‘Where is the Lord.’ We wander in the mire of broken relationships and ruined circumstances but refuse to inquire ‘where is the Lord?’
Perhaps your life is different. Maybe you have riches and influence. You live in the land of fruitfulness and bounty, but you still do not ask, ‘where is the Lord?’ You choose, instead, to ignore Him and waste your time on worthless idols.
Today, whethere in want, or in plenty, there is one thing that can satisfy our deepest longing and our greatest need. That is to know right here, right now, in these circumstances, ‘where is the lord?’
