August 26, 2016 Bible Study — Hope In the Lord

I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Lamentations 3-5.

    In times of deep suffering, suffering which we know we deserve, this passage reminds us that we can still put our hope in God. His faithful love endures forever, for all time and beyond. God does not enjoy hurting people, nor does He enjoy causing them sorrow. Let us daily examine our lives and recognize where we have sinned. If we depend on the Lord and patiently wait for Him, He will bring us salvation from our troubles. When we are surrounded and filled by grief and suffering, let us cry out to the Lord. Let us ask Him to forgive us and restore us. God does not change and He desires for everyone to come to Him. When we sin, He will allow us to suffer the consequences of our sins, but when we obediently turn to Him once more He will comfort us.
