*Day 236/365 (Aug 24) PORTIONS TO READ*:
*Jeremiah laments Jerusalem's fate*
Jerusalem's miserable state - Lamentations 1:1-11
Jerusalem's sorrow - Lam.1:12-22
The Lord's terrible punishment - Lam.2:1-10
Jeremiah's deep sorrow - Lam.2:11-22
His suffering - Lam.3:1-20
His hope - Lam.3:21-30
The Lord's mercy - Lam.3:31-36
*A thought*:
The more Jeremiah looked at the troubles of Israel, the more he was grieved. The more he looked on God's mercy, however, the more his spirit revived. It's not wrong to look
at your difficulties and problems, but it is wrong to look only at them. Do as one great saint said: "I glance at my difficulties, but I glaze at God"
*Week #34 Memory Verse*:
Isaiah 40:31
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"
