Lamentations 4
O daughter of Zion, your punishment will end; he will not prolong your exile OR O daughter of Edom, he will punish your sin and expose your wickedness. We get to choose! Zion is foolish and stubborn, but they love God and for that they will go through seasons of discipline, but He will not prolong it forever. Edom is just plain against God...won't even budge one bit and thus they will go through punishment forever and ever. Which one are we? Because as I read this chapter my stomach just turns for what Jeremiah had to see with his own eyes and makes me want to strive harder and better. It makes me want to die to my selfish desires. It makes me want to worship Him faithfully for His abundant love and grace. Wow, wow, wow! This chapter is too much. Let's surrender to Jesus daily!
"If God be a Father, then I infer that whatever he does to his children, is in love." Thomas Watson
