"Bedrock of Faith"

To lament is to express passionate grief or sorrow.  The book of Lamentations does just that!  Jeremiah expresses the horrors and sadness of his devastated people and himself in this short book.  However, in the midst of all the passionate grief, he expresses hope.

In 3:22, he says, "The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease; for His compassions never fail."  No matter how you feel and what sadness you remember, this is what you must know!
3:23, "Great is Your faithfulness."  John MacArthur says about this verse, "The bedrock of faith is the reality that God keeps all His promises."  And last, 5:19, "You, O LORD, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation." Again John MacArthur, "Jeremiah was consoled by the fact that God always sits on His sovereign throne ruling over the universe from heaven."

God's lovingkindness never ceases!  His compassions never fail!  His faithfulness is great!  He rules from His throne forever!  Think on these truths.  Believe them.  Live them out.  They are your "bedrock of faith" to carry you through to the end.  "On Christ the Solid Rock I stand!!!"
