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.

    Throughout the entire Book of Lamentations the author expresses his deep suffering and sadness. Yet even in the midst of his great sorrow he has hope. That hope is based on his faith in God. God is loving and faithful. He will be good to those who depend on Him, who search for Him even in the midst of trials. When we face troubles and calamities, rather than complain we should examine our ways and test our motives. If we find that we have done wrong, let us turn back to God and seek to do His will. Even if our suffering does not result from any wrong we have done, let us lift our hearts and hands to God. In the depths of our suffering let us continue to praise the Lord.
