A little history on Lamentations

Also called the Lamentations of Jeremiah

The Book of Lamentations is the collection of five poems or songs mourning the conquest of Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Judah.

The tone of the book of Jeremiah is very heavy as God’s Judgement had come

However, today’s text is Jeremiah remembering Hope in the hard times

I recall hope

The Lord’s Mercies

His compassions never fail

They are new every morning

Great is Your faithfulness

The Lord is my portion

I Hope in Him

Wait for Him and seek Him

Hope and wait quietly

Waiting is excruciating for today’s “2-day delivery” generation

However, if we take the time of waiting to examine and seek and spend time quietly listening to the Lord,

The pain of waiting will become joy in the Hope of Christ.
