So now final thoughts on the Book of Lamentations, so read through chapter 5.
Lamentations is written as a song but chapter 5 does not follow the rules of oriental song meter. It is unbalanced with no closure. Do not ask me, I am not a music person. I like to listen but could tell you nothing about I am listening to! So we will just go with what the experts say ...
Learn To Accept Lows
We are just fine when everything is going our way.
But God could not care less about "your" way.
He wants you to find Him in the valleys of life and lean on Him!
Ask For Help
Lift yourself, your brothers and sisters up in prayer!
Ask God to remember us in times of trouble.
See our need!
Bring us back to Himself.
We are powerless, only He can restore us!
Embrace Answers
Remember your Biblical history:
God did not meet their expectations
Not everyone has returned
The temple was not as grand
Jerusalem not restored as before
And then came the unexpected: Jesus!
