How Lonely Sits the City

Today’s Feast July 10, 2014-Lamentations 1 How Lonely Sits the City clic aquí en español * Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily.  We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.  Gods Not Dead! “15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ” Colossians 3:15 Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Lamentations Chapter 1; “The miserable state of Jerusalem, the just consequences of its sins. (1-11) Jerusalem represented as a captive female, lamenting, and seeking the mercy of God. (12-22)” Lamentations Overview; “It is evident that Jeremiah was the author of the Lamentations which bear his name. The book was not written till after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. May we be led to consider sin as the cause of all our calamities, and under trials exercise submission, repentance, faith, and prayer, with the hope of promised deliverance through God's mercy.” - Matthew Henry Concise.  The prophet speaks of Jerusalem, as a distressed female voice (see Lamentations 1:1-11) and the LORD’s anger is just in dealing with transgressions.  The Lord is punishing Jerusalem (see Daniel 9:16) because of her sins against God.  In the time of their end (see Lamentations 1:12-22) His people are struggling under the weight of their sin; “21 “They heard my groaning, yet there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it. You have brought the day you announced; now let them be as I am.  22 “Let all their evildoing come before you, and deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my transgressions; for my groans are many, and my heart is faint.” Lamentations 1:21-22  English Standard Version (ESV).  God is not willing for any people to die in their sins (see John 3:16) all they need do is repent and ask Him for forgiveness in Jesus name.  “6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”  Philippians 1:6  ESV.  As Christians it is up to us to foil that loneliness (see Matthew 5:14) by bringing God’s Word to a lost and dying world.
