Lamenting Our Troubles

Even though we may be surrounded by storms and other pains life often throws our way, it is a Great Day in the eyes of the promised.  Since today is Sunday and I often post on the soulful aspects of life on Sundays I have this to offer:  Consider the Book of Lamentations in the Old Testament.  It does not offer an author but Jeremiah has been argued as the author given it is the tale of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 587 B.C., a period of time that he was alive.  Lamentations is only five chapters and if you read Chapter 3 only, it will speak to you in the same ways Job does.  It starts out depressing, ends up Glorious, so stay with it. 
As we witness the destructive force of nature over the next few days keep in mind that it is all part of a Greater Plan.  A plan we do not know the details of, but are assured of its ultimate outcome.  I pray for those in desperation, but please consider what Jeremiah witnessed as you reflect on your own troubles.  All the best my friend, stay safe and let the Lord guide your path, always and forever more.
