“악한 자가 잘되고 정직하지 못한 자가 성공하는 것이 무슨 이유입니까?”

 

 

예레미야 선지자처럼 우리는 주님께 한 가지 물어보고 싶은 것이 있을 수 있습니다: “악한 자가 잘되고 정직하지 못한 자가 성공하는 것이 무슨 이유입니까?” (참고: 예레미야 12:1, 현대인의 성경)  또한 우리는 시편 기자처럼 이렇게 질문할 수도 있을 것입니다: ‘주님, 어떻게 악한 사람들이 잘 되고 있는 것인가요?  어떻게 그들은 일평생 아무런 고통도 없이 건강하게 지내며, 언제나 편안한 생활을 하고 그들의 재산을 날로 늘어만 가는 것인가요?’ (참고: 시편 73:3-4, 12, 현대인의 성경)
