A few days ago, when writing on Lamentations, I mentioned that I would circle back to this line. In Lamentations, it read: Let’s take a good look at the way we’re living and reorder our lives under God. Here, in Haggai, it reads: Take a good, hard look at your life. Think it over. I’m noContinue reading “Haggai”

Lamentations (5)
As this short book comes to a close, I want to remind you that it’s ok to grieve. It’s ok to feel anger. It’s ok to feel hurt. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok. You can feel those things. You can express all of that to God. God is big enough to handle it. WhenContinue reading “Lamentations (5)”
Lamentations (4)
There’s a line in chapter 3 of Lamentations that I’ll be revisiting when I write about Haggai because the two correlate so well. The line is this: Let’s take a good look at the way we’re living and reorder our lives under God. I’ll get to that in a few days, but for now, let’s diveContinue reading “Lamentations (4)”

After two and a half chapters of lament, it’s nice to finally get a break.

Lamentations (2)
It’s tough to talk about grief and sorrow. It doesn’t come naturally for most of us. But I wanted to take a minute to share a few of the lines here in chapter 2 of Lamentations. In my mind, it perfectly describes the physical state of suffering: The elders of Daughter Zion sit silent onContinue reading “Lamentations (2)”
