Nothing happened. The atheist said, "You see, there is not God." A man responded, "No sir, you've only proved that He is a good, and a gracious God."
In a very interesting way, this section of Jeremiah's prophecy focuses upon the graciousness, greatness and goodness of God. I love the little chorus:
God is so good,

Many times it takes grief to reveal grace; tragedy to reveal triumph; pain to reveal praise; misery to reveal mercy; and, badness to reveal God's goodness.
Such is the case in this section of Jeremiah's prophetic utterance. In th ...
