Lamentations 1:18 The Lord is in the right because I have rebelled against His word
Lamentations is about the Nation of Israel as they dealt with God’s wrath upon them for their transgressions. I am reminded of the verse “God shall not be mocked…” as I read this verse. I think that we sometimes tend to think that verses like this belong to only unbelievers; that certainly believers need not worry about God’s wrath. Maybe not wrath, since we are covered in the blood of Jesus, but His discipline certainly. “God disciplines those he loves…” if you are a child of God and you ignore what He wants you to do; He will discipline you. Scary right, yet, so telling that we as fleshly humans will choose our sin over obedience even with the threat of God’s discipline upon us.
