Today’s Daily Devotions: Who Can Speak And Have It Happen If The Lord Has Not Decreed It?

Lamentation 3

33 For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to anyone.

34 To crush underfoot
all prisoners in the land,

35 to deny people their rights before the Most High,

36 to deprive them of justice— would not the Lord see such things?

37 Who can speak and have it happen
if the Lord has not decreed it?

38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that both calamities and good things come?

39 Why should the living complain when punished for their sins?

40 Let us examine our ways and test them,
and let us return to the Lord.

41 Let us lift up our hearts and our hands
to God in heaven, and say:

42 “We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven.
