Listen "Learning a New Language | Lamentations 3:7-33"
Episode Synopsis
This week we will cover the book of Lamentations as a whole as a way to
springboard into talking about how it is good for God’s people to learn the
language of lament. When bad things happen, too often we choose one of
three options: to suffer in silence, to dismiss the bad things by speaking
platitudes, or to rage. None of these three options are the best way to
deal with trouble! The Bible shows us the way to lament–to give complaints
to God, to ask Him why things are going so badly and what He’s going to do
about them. Lamenting to God may be foreign to us, but when it is done in
faith it is one of the best things we can do when we are feeling broken and
downtrodden by the sinfulness of this life.
