Prophets Faithfull to God's CovenantProphets of Restoration Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Lamentations: A Plea for RestorationLamentations 3:22-33 The Message22-24 God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left. 25-27 God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It’s a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God. It’s a good thing when you’re young to stick it out through the hard times. 28-30 When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence. Bow in prayer. Don’t ask questions: Wait for hope to appear. Don’t run from trouble. Take it full-face. The “worst” is never the worst. 31-33 Why? Because the Master won’t ever walkout and fail to return. If he works severely, he also works tenderly. His stockpiles of loyal love are immense. He takes no pleasure in making life hard, in throwing roadblocks in the way: For ReflectionWhen things are going well, remember the source of all things good. When things fall apart, turn to the Lord, who passionately waits for your call. PrayPray and trust in the Lord to make all things good. Pray and wait patiently for God's call.
