Lamentations 5 - God is Still on His Throne

 

Lamentations 5 – God is Still on His Throne

 

The people pray now to God and describe their reproach. They have lost their freedom, their joy, and their inheritance, and they are paying dearly just to stay alive – all because of the sins of their fathers. God knows your needs and will not forget you. (Isaiah 49:14-18)

 

They had lost their crown, but God was still on His throne. The defeat of Judah was not the victory of the false gods of Babylon! No matter how hopeless you feel, no matter how difficult the present situation may be, God is still ruling in this universe, and He will not forsake you.

 

God’s chastening is proof that He loves you and has not forsaken you (Heb. 12:5-11). One day, He will take you out of the furnace and give you a new start. You will be a new and better person if you let Him have His way.
