Lamentations 2:18-19
V 19…pour out your hearts like water before the presence of the Lord!
In the midst of several verses that deal mostly with the heartache of the Children of Israel, I found this verse. I was immediately reminded of many, many verses that tell us how much God wants us to cast ourselves upon Him. He desires our dependence on Him, and so should we. I can’t remember the exact reference right now but there is a verse that says…”How great a nation is there that has a God so near to it as the Lord God is to us (or something like that!). Even if that isn’t an exact quote, the meaning is clear. God is near His chosen people. I believe that God causes things in our lives that will bring us closer to Him, and will ultimately benefit us. How much better could we be than walking daily with Him who loved and called us to His own?
