Lamentations
3:1-66
I am the man that hath seen affliction by
the rod of His wrath…It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because
His compassion fail not.
From
the writing of the prophet Jeremiah he had witness first hand the wrath of God
upon a rebellious nation Judah
for failing to repent and turn back to Him. Jeremiah is sometime known or
referred to as the weeping prophet because he lamented over the sinful
conditions of his countrymen. The more he preached repentance it appears as
though the conditions became worse, but Jeremiah continued appealing to the
people and to God for mercy. Jeremiah knew that God's mercy would supersede any
trials and tribulations that were occurring and would occur. What
a merciful God?
Our
lesson text bring home the point of our lesson text in that regardless of how
bleak or difficult the situation is God's hand of mercy is near. God's
compassion, mercy, love and grace is evidence by Him sending His Son Jesus to
bear the sins of the world. Throughout the history of Israel God's hand of
mercy is seen as His compassion never ends and His love endures forever. This
applies to all today, because regardless of our troubles and the reason for
them there is hope because we can turn to God in sincere prayer knowing that He
hears and answer. Hope in God is a sure foundation.
Believers,
hold fast to your hope in God and waited patiently for the manifestations of
His mercy.
