Discontent

Grumbling
against
leadership.

And
wilderness
living conditions.

Discontent
“if only”s
en route to
the promised land.

Discontent.

hope

The one who speaks truth finds himself walled in. Weighed down. Worn out.

No hope. Only the crooked path. And a deep pit. Face in the gravel.

Affliction. With no end in sight.

This. When he’s fearlessly made known God’s ways. And wept over the judgment of a disobedient people.

Jeremiah laments.

Not so brave

People look at where you’ve been. Or where you’re headed. Noticing which trials have whipped or trudged through your life. 

And then decide you’ve got unusual fortitude. Courage. Perseverance to endure. 

“You’re so brave. I could never do that.”

I’m not so brave.
