Trusting

The prophet Jeremiah feels God should maybe look-out for God's people, that he should stop being so tough on Israel, in general, and in particular the prophet. There are times I feel the same way, times when God seems to be fouling things up, especially me, and he is missing the point of just about everything, and would he please stop. Please, smarten up. But when I complain, when I ask about it, he doesn't answer. He doesn't apologize. He won't even try to explain. Still, I think maybe he does understand, maybe better than I do; and even if he doesn't, there is little to do but go on trusting.
