If you had been living in Jerusalem in 586 BC, you would have witnessed the worst tragedy of your life. Nothing could compare to your nation and your city falling apart, but that’s what happened. Lamentations is a short, poetical book that bemoans this terrible event. The “weeping prophet” was at a low point. It seems he’d lost hope. So what does he do? Lamentations 3:21 says, “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope.” What follows are three of the most comforting verses in the whole Bible – Lamentations 3:22-24. In times of trouble, Jeremiah offers three great things to remember to have hope! If you are suffering. If you’ve lost hope. If it seems what’s happening in your world doesn’t make sense, what Jeremiah’s message is for you!
