recently I have been getting deep into the book of Lamentations.....chapter 3 has long been one of my favorite in the bible.
"She weeps bitterly in the night,
with tears on her cheeks;
among all her lovers
she has no one to comfort her..."
Lamentations 1:2
None of these lovers will comfort her. None of the things you love will comfort you, Jacob. You weep, and well you should. For the glory is gone from you. What you should have had (eden.....) you dont have. And you answer is not in the things you have sought...relationships, music, status, culture, respect, wealth....
but selah-- and then He came
He became your comforter, always was your comforter.
He came to wipe away your tears
Los Angeles. Pasadena....they weep bitterly at night, with no one to really comfort. Lord, give me ears to hear when your children are weeping, and the courage to point them toward true comfort.
