Lamentations 3:39-40 NASB   Why should any living mortal, or any man, Offer complaint in view of his sins? Let us examine and probe our ways, And let us return to the LORD.

If you spend any time with children, you will inevitably hear them complain “but that’s not fair!” And it isn’t just my nieces that I hear it from, it’s adults too, we just have more grown-up ways of saying it…

Jeremiah started to complain in Lamentations that things weren’t fair, that God’s judgment went too far…but then he remembered his own sin, and that we are all sinners (Romans 3:23).

Instead of complaining that God isn’t fair, we should be praising him for not always doing what is fair, but instead offering us the free gift of salvation that we don’t deserve (Romans 6:23).
