—Lamentations 3:34-41
by: Dale Rood.
What is the standard by which goodness is measured? When troubles afflict us, it is not the Lord and his righteousness that is called into question. Evil and goodness do not both proceed from the Lord (v. 38). It is not God's way to undercut man in his cause (v. 36). What is called into question, rather, is our way (v. 40). Could times of trouble be a call for us to reevaluate our ways?
