Scripture:
“You, Lord, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation.” Lamentations 5:19 NIV
Observation:
Lamentations is Jeremiah laments the fact that Judah was taken into captivity by Babylon. After four chapters of lamenting, and right at the end of the book, he writes this verse. He had complained and whined all he could whine, then came back to who the Lord is. His throne endures all generations and He never changes.
Application:
We need to realize that God is who He says He is. He is the eternal, all-powerful, God! He does reign forever and ever. Our best play is to humble ourselves before Him and walk in His paths instead of our own. We have seen the goodness of God for so long that we have forgotten the severity of God. We must remember that He is love, but He is also justice and righteousness.
Prayer:
Lord God, You are amazing! You love and generosity is beyond comprehension. Your justice and righteousness are also without compare. Help me to view You correctly as the lover of my soul, yet the one I will stand before in judgment one day. Help me to represent You well to those I speak to.
Your Son,
Jeff
