Lamentations 1

The book of Jeremiah and continues in Lamentations. Jerusalem was captured, plundered and destroyed by the Babylonians. Jeremiah the weeping prophet gave an explanation why Judah and Jerusalem was captured.

Application:
Our God is a God of history. What he had promised, He will fulfill. We need to learn from the people of Judah. They had enough time to repent. They had many warnings from Jeremiah but they did not pay attention to what he prophesied or preached. What about us? Are we being fooled by our pastors in the pulpit when they only taught about the God of Love, they ignore the a Holy God and His Judgement. The day is coming soon and when it happens many of us will be caught by surprise. Let us remember that mercy precedes judgement and there is stll time to repent and turn to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Verses to meditate on:
18 "The LORD is righteous,
yet I rebelled against his command.
Listen, all you peoples;
look upon my suffering.
My young men and maidens
have gone into exile.
