A BALM IN GILEAD

"Is there no balm in Gilead? It is the human question. Jeremiah the prophet asked it. The Israelites were in exile in Babylon. They had once known a prosperous life, and worshiped in their own home town. Now they lived as captives in a foreign land, victims of Nebuchadnezzar's conquest. Jeremiah's words capture the lament that filled the people: my heart is sick; is the Lord not with us?...the harvest is past; I am hurt...I mourn; is there no balm in Gilead? If you didn't know that Gilead was a northern district known for aromatic and curative oils, you'd know what these words meant. They express the lament of the human heart - times of tragedy, heartbreak, war, sadness - times that are part of every life. We ask, we demand...where is God in this moment, at this time, in this experience? Has God abandoned us? Why?" - Rev. Niesen
