Jeremiah wrote Lamentations about a nation who had turned their backs on God’s Word and were living in sin, while surrounded by false prophets telling them all was well.
But Jeremiah had also seen his own affliction brought about by his sin.
Jeremiah said this in Lamentations 3:1: I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
Instead of telling the truth about what had led these people into captivity—their own sinfulness. These false prophets prophesied lies to the people.
Because the sin of man was so great throughout the earth, the LORD was grieved that He had made man. God’s heart was so broken over the wickedness, the Word tells us he regretted creating man.
So great and widespread was the depravity, that only Noah and his family would be spared from the wrath of God.
Let’s read the account of what happened after the LORD finally reached the point He would no longer bear the wickedness in the earth.
When we come before the LORD, we are to come with thanksgiving in our hearts and on our lips.
When we do so, we are acknowledging Who He is—our Omnipotent Father; all powerful, and worthy of our praise.
Psalm 100:1-5
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His Name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.
Proverbs 8:34
Blessed is the man that heareth Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors.
Isaiah 52:7-15
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
[8] Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
How can we have peace in the midst of trials so heavy that we cannot see the way forward?
Years ago, I suffered intensely from panic attacks. At that time, I lived in constant fear that something was fundamentally wrong with me and that death was imminent.
While there were many reasons for that fear, the root was simple: I was not yet secure or perfected in the love of my Father.
We know that when this life is over—if we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ we have a great reward and a future hope awaiting us.
But what about in this life? How will we endure all that we must face in the here and now?
David, when he thought on these things said he would have despaired if he had not believed he would also see the goodness of the LORD in this life. Then, he encourages us to wait on the goodness of the LORD too.
