The BOOK – Jeremiah Laments

In the book of Jeremiah we see Judah leaving the Lord, and through Jeremiah God sending warnings of judgements for people to return to his commandments. 

The book of Lamentations is attributed to Jeremiah. Five beautiful poems are bound together in this book. Here we see the prophet weeping over the sins of his people. In Lamentations 3:22-27, the light breaks through to throw a shining rainbow across the murky sky. God’s grace always shines above the clouds of sin, and it will always shine in the heart that is trusting in God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lord Jesus Christ gives, “to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair” – Isaiah 61:3.

As you see in Chapter 3, the hope of a better day, may the Lord empower you with his wisdom and knowledge to hope in faith of the beautiful days ahead with Christ Jesus. Amen
