This morning was my day to teach bible study on the prayer line. I taught from the book of Lamentations chapter 5. As I told the ladies on the prayer line, as long as I been a Christian I've never bothered to open the book of Lamentations. As short as the book is only 5 chapters. I just didn't bother. As I walk closer with GOD I'm opening up my bible to new knowledge within it. Praise GOD 4 HIS WORD. Jeremiah the author of Lamentations also the author of the book of Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. He had a very close relationship to GOD. When GOD was upset Jeremiah felt GOD's pain. Because the children of Israel were wicked and full of sin. GOD sent Jeremiah to warn them that they needed to turn away from their sin. GOD who had created them, loved them and blessed them time after time again. Jeremiah felt sorrow. In Lamentations 5 he pleaded with GOD to forgive them of their sins. In doing so GOD would show mercy on them if the people repented. Restoring them making them new.
We all sin and have come short of the glory of GOD. There is none righteous no not one. We sin in thought and action. It is highly important for us to repent our sins (ask for forgiveness). When you know you've done wrong ask GOD 2 forgive you. Thank GOD for his grace and mercy. Also remember GOD knows your heart. HE knows if you are truly sorry for being disobedient. You cannot fool GOD. When you repent you must utter the words as well as show action. By turning away from your old ways. Ask GOD to order your steps in HIS WORD. And HE shall restore you making you a new creation. A changed man or woman. Live for GOD and HE shall give you the desires of your heart.
