Lamentations


Today is sort of a continuation of yesterday's theme.  Jeremiah warned the people of Judah to turn from their ways, or their Kingdom would fall.

Their kingdom fell.

After the fall of Judah, Jeremiah chose to stay behind in the destroyed Kingdom, rather than live in luxury in the land of their captors. The book of Lamentations is often attributed to him, wherein the writer laments their fall, but reminds them that God still offers hope.

LAMENTATIONS
How lost is Judah,
but great is Thy faithfulness.
Restore us to you
.
As bad as things get.  As bad as we feel.  God's plan is never to let us go.
Ever.
No matter how messed up we think our lives are, he can always restore us.
Always.
He is faithful in a way we can never hope to understand.
