Our question for today is Jeremiah 12:1:
“Why do the wicked prosper?”
Jeremiah asked what many of us have whispered in our hearts. He watched those who ignore God and yet succeed. He wondered why. His question wasn’t rebellion; it was honest faith looking for clarity.
Instead of turning bitter, Jeremiah turned to God. That’s what faith does. It doesn’t run from doubt; it brings doubt to the One who understands.
Sometimes life doesn’t seem fair. The wrong people rise. The right people wait. Prayers feel unanswered. Yet even in those moments, we hold to this truth:
“When you can’t see God’s hand at work, you can trust that His heart is still good.”
God’s justice doesn’t always run on our schedule. What seems delayed is not forgotten. God sees the whole story, not just the part we’re living in.
So what should we do? Keep trusting Him. Keep seeking. Keep coming back to the God who hears even the questions we’re afraid to say out loud.
Indeed, you may not see His hand, but you can be sure that His heart is still for you. He is just. He is good. He can be trusted.
