OmGosh. The book of lamentations.
Once again Israel has disobeyed God.
Look at Lamentations chapter 5. See what has befallen the nation because of their sin. V8. Ch.5.( starting with)
Servants and slaves rule over us; there is none to deliver us out of their hands. [ Neh.5: 15]
The Hebrews said....We get our bread at the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. [ the wild Arabs,who may attack if we venture into the fields to reap our harvest]
Vs 10...Our skin glows and is parched as from [the heat of]
an oven because of the burning heat of [the fever of] famine. Look further...vs 11. They ravished the women in Zion, the virgins in the cities of Judah.
Vs 12..They hung princes by their hands; the persons of elders were not respected.
Vs 13..Young men carried millstones,and boys fell[ staggering]
under [ burdens of ] wood. Vs 14 ..The elders have ceased from [ congregating at] the city's gate, the young men from their music.
Vs 15...Ceased is the joy of our hearts;
Our dancing has turned into mourning. Vs 16..The crown has fallen from our head[ our honor is brought to dust] WOE TO US,FOR WE HAVE SINNED !
They also had to pay money to drink the water that belonged to them in verse 4. They were allowed no rest.in verse 5.
So what we have here is their fathers had sinned as well, were no longer among them, and all of Israel including Judah was paying the price.
I do not know about you.....but I stress over the my nation suffering over a plague. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Once a professed nation following Christ, has turned to it's own way. Not regarding God. Even evil doers invoking Christ to bail them out....with no Intentions to REPENT.
Trust God...that want work. Common grace and grace from Christ...are different. Much of our wealth and educated people working in medicine, the food industry, and science, is God's common grace. In other words God blessing even the unbelieving world. For my fellow believers..... remember, it rains on the just and the unjust. If we want a mighty move of God, we believers must hit our knees, cry out to God for our nations healing. We have laughed joked around , had fun with the gospel, NOW it's time to learn of the full council of God. Is this an Easter message or what? Wow!
Ya know? Christ bore all my sins on the tree. All of them. Was buried and rose again. Guess what. He is coming back just as the Bible says, but this time to JUDGE the world. Are u ready? There are no cutting deals with God. You will not be telling Him or telling Him
what to do.
I must obey Him now, and forever.
This life is temporary. But the hereafter is forever. Pray for our nation while we repent. I must ask God to see if there is any wicked way in me.
God be with you. Happy about Christ rising from the grave. He lives. Amen.
