Lamentations
Sept 12, 2021: Nevada Appeal: Faith & Insight: Rebellious hope
Lamentations 3 gives us a great example of what it means to have a rebellious hope as it describes a hope for relief through the loving-kindness of God. This passage of Scripture give us one of the greatest confessions of faith. Warren Wiersbe writes about this text that “Jeremiah had been dwelling on his sorrows and the sorrows of his people, but then he lifted his eyes to the Lord — and this was the turning point. In the midst of sorrow and ruin he remembered the mercy of the Lord. “‘His compassions fail not.’ We have failed him, but he cannot fail us. ‘Great is your faithfulness.’”
