    The prophet Jeremiah faced rebuke, mockery and loneliness and stood transparent before God and lifted his state of depression to the LORD.

    God’s Promises Weighed on the Balance Scales In your mind’s eye, please see a set of balance scales. Balance scales are the type we see the blind lady of justice holding, where a heavier weight tilts in that direction but even weight balances out perfectly. This reading is particularly relevant ...read more
