Lamentations
3:39: And What It Means to All People!!

39. Why Should a living man complain, a
man for the punishment of his sins?
Allow me to expand on this Bible verse.
Lamentations 3:39 has a whole lot to do with the sins that we commit
against God. When it comes to a man,
woman, and child that sins, why shall we complain when we sin against God?
Why should a living man complain about the
punishment of his sins. Frankly, a man
should repent of his sins rather than complain about it. I mean his sins.
Micah 7:9 says I will bear the
indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my
case and executes justice for me. He
will bring me forth to the light; I will see His righteousness. The reason why I wrote this Bible verse is
simply because it coincides with Lamentations 3:39. These two Bible verses are
alike when it comes to man’s sins. The
Bible verse Micah 7:9 talks about God’s wrath against mankind. God will execute justice for all of us. In the previous Bible verse, man complains
about his sins.
I guess whenever man complains to God
about his sins, man is trying to question God’s wrath against him. Man is also questioning his punishment from
God to begin with. Why should a living
man complain? Man is expressing his
dissatisfaction about his sins to God. I
understand why Jeremiah wrote it!!
Jeremiah wrote it as a complaint against God. When it comes to our sins, we do not have any
business complaining to God or anyone else!!
I understand what a lament means.
The word lament means to complain or express sorrow.
I sincerely understand that God is
giving all of us a second chance at life.
I know that man is not supposed to quarrel or argue with God in the
first place. Man is very sinful. Man, questions everything that he does wrong
because he is afraid and terrified of God’s wrath. When it comes to Micah 7:9, it specifically talks
about God’s wrath on the wicked.
In my case, I know that I am a sinful man, who
needs God’s grace and mercy upon me.
When it comes to my sins, and iniquities, I have to be transparent and
accountable for all of my sins.
Finally, I have realized that I cannot
fight God either way. I know that God
created me for a reason. I might not
know my reason for existing to all of my questions.
I know that if I see God for myself, I might
have to pay the price!! This means that I might perish in the process. When it comes to my sins, God has the right
to judge me according to all of my sins.
Man can only make an opinion about me.
Even though, I have to adhere to Man’s laws and God’s Laws as well.
