Lamentations 2:40-5:22
As I finish up in Lamentations, I notice a several things. The People of Israel are punished severely for their sin, and they know why this is happening to them; they realize with a great certainty that God hates sin. I, like the Children of Israel, realize that God takes my sin seriously; He sees it as an affront to Him. I also notice that even thought God punishes them for their sin; He also gives to them compassion. So, where there is punishment for sin, and it is earned and just, there is also the warm bath of forgiveness that He pours upon His children…all in all, a good book I would suggest anyone who hasn’t read it to give it a shot!
