Our Hope: The Faithfulness of God

We are the most blessed people in all of history and yet we are still cursed because of sin. This is why we sometimes suffer. Jeremiah's suffering, guided by the Holy Spirit, eventually boiled out into a 5 chapter poem that we know best as the book of Lamentations. The nation of Israel refused to listen to the overwhelming warnings of a loving father and He was instead glorified through the suffering they had to face because of their disobedience. They chose destruction instead of life with God. Like the nation of Israel, we have the choice to be a living testimony of what it looks like when a person fully surrenders and lives by and for God or we can be a testimony of what it looks like when a person rejects God and lives for themselves. Either way God is going to be glorified. The takeaway from all of this is that there is hope in the faithfulness of God for you if you want it. Even though we may have to suffer a little while for our disobedience, God will have compassion on us if we turn to Him. Have you messed up? Turn around because Jesus is there with His arms wide open.
