Journey Through the Bible Day 237 Lamentations 1-2
(Lamentations 1:1 How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!)
As we enter our Journey into Lamentations we see the city’s and the land in ruin. Babylon has attacked and have left nothing in their seize. We do not know who wrote the book of Lamentations but many give it to Jeremiah. Whoever the author is they are in disbelief of what has happened, how quick and devastating it was, they are grieving and we might as well settle into this place because Lamentations means a passionate expression of grief, sorrow and weeping. This is the very thing that Jeremiah has warned the people about for so long. To turn from there evil ways. The people laminated but did not turn to God yet they longed for the time when God bless them but did not seek after God. There is Blessings that are placed upon our lives when we seek and serve God. We cannot expect to have those blessings without God in the midst of them. But this time of lamenting has came to pass because the people have turned away from God. (Lamentations 1:8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.) I’m afraid we are on this same path in our nation today. We must stand together in the truth. We must stand together on the Word. We as a nation must repent of our sins and turn from our evil ways or this once One Nation under God will become a nation gone under. May God bless you ALL today!
