When pain and sufferring linger, lament points us to the God who remembers, reigns, and restores.
Our experience in suffering can expose our emotions and turn our hearts to worship our Lord who commands our destiny.
When sin leaves you utterly destroyed, the gospel says, "The punishment for your iniquity is accomplished, you will be exiled no longer."
When lament brings you into confession the end result remains the same, hope and trust in God.
In our lament we pour out our souls to the Lord, cry out to him for help, and trust while rejoicing in Him who has dealt bountifully with us.
Sin leads to hurt, hinderances, and humiliation, but the gospel leads to healing, help and honor.
Hope is a heart issue - Where your hope is, there your heart will be also.
