In the
first of Jehovah’s messages through Jeremiah, the tender-hearted
prophet, and recorded in Jeremiah 2, there are a number of touching
questions: “What is wrong in Me?” (v. 5); “Why not inquire of Me?” (v.
6); “The priests ignore Me, why?” (v. 8); “Is there any nation so
whimsical as you?” (v. 11); “Why do you act as a spoiled servant?” (v.
14); “Why have you forsaken Me?” (v. 17); “Why do you hanker after
Egypt?” (v. 18), etc. The whole of the message is a series of
challenging and searching queries. But surely none are so pointed and
full of meaning as “Have I become a wilderness unto Israel?” (v. 31).
The Lord a wilderness to His redeemed ones?
