You, LORD, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation. (Lamentations 5:19)
Thoughts: Lamentations was written at time in which the nation had been devastated by war and famine. Yet Jeremiah writes that the Lord is still on the throne. It takes incredible faith to believe God is in control when it seems the whole world is falling apart and God's name was being trashed. Yet, God was indeed still working. Miraculously the faith was preserved. Though at times the church is reduced to just a remnant- almost snuffed out; God is still at work and will fan the ember into flame again. In the West it is easy to say God is being sidestepped by powerful people, powerful evil forces, and powerful pride in the name of intelligence. Yet, God is still very much at work. People of faith believe that God will always preserve Himself a people.
Prayer: Lord, give me faith to believe in you even if I do not see you- as I believe in the sun even when it does not shine, and in love even when I do not feel love.
