Sing to GOD! All praise to GOD!Jeremiah 20:13-14.
He saves the weak from the grip of the wicked.
Curse the day
I was born!
The day my mother bore me--
a curse on it, I say!
In two verses Jeremiah goes from praise to cursing, one often gets the impression that the spiritual life is all about praise, I deeply appreciate the laments in scripture, the freedom to rage against God as at the start of Jeremiah famous lament
You pushed me into this, GOD, and I let you do it.I wonder if we could create space for lament in Church, to let people know it's ok to hurt and tell God about it in very direct terms.
You were too much for me.
And now I'm a public joke.
They all poke fun at me.
- Peace
