Day 58

Good morning Friends,
Have a great day! Woo hoo the start of the weekend!

Today's reading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pages 684-696 (Jeremiah 48 - Lamentations 1)

Something to ponder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How does the fall of Jerusalem (Lamentations 1) compare to the original fall?

Key verse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How deserted lies the city,
once so full of people!
How like a widow is she,
who once was great among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces
has now become a slave.

Lamentations 1:1

Reminder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The phrase "there but for the grace of God go I" is a good one to remember as we read the books of the prophets and Lamentations. Viewed from God's holy perspective, our approach to life is no better than the lives depicted in these books. Notice, too, though, the grace and hope throughout.

Encouragement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible."

Dwight L. Moody

As we read Lamentations, these questions arise:

* Are there people you know who have suffered great loss and never fully recovered?
* Do they know God's Word?
* Should you add them to the list of people with whom you might share The Bible in 90 Days experience?
