Today we are reading Lamentations 5, Obadiah 1, 2 Kings 25:22-26, Jeremiah 40:7-16, and Jeremiah 41.  It’s remarkable how we can always apply the Word in a practical way.  What stands out to you today? Here’s my take-a-way:

In Lamentations 5, the people connect their circumstance to their own sin – we haven’t heard that happen in a long time.

“Bring us back to you, God—we’re ready to come back.
    Give us a fresh start” (Lamentations 5:21 MSG)

Our actions carry consequences, our actions have repercussions – let’s not blame God when we are disobedient.
