Lamentations

I have mentioned a few times that I have been studying and meditating upon this rather depressing book of the Bible.

The prophet Jeremiah was not well liked by the rulers of the day because he continually pointed them to God and repentance ... for as the rulers go, so goes the people ...  And he wrote these five little chapters to lay out how far the Hebrews had fallen.

So, what can we say about a lamentation?  Read Lamentations 1

State The Problem
Acknowledge YOU have a problem
Confront the problem
Admit the problem
Move beyond the problem
Praise God what He will do

Be Shocked
As then, no one will listen
No one will react
No one will condemn

Hear The Stories
But not just the victors!
Use your brain and investigate what you hear!
