Recompense: Lamentations: Prayers and Poetry

                  Recompense

                Only by God's hand

                can the enemy be

                vanquished.

                Only then can the

                barrage cease

                pounding.

                Only when see the 

                conquerors condemned

                ourselves.

                Then perhaps by

                mercy's intervention

                can evil cease.

Psalm 37:31: "The law of their God is in their hearts; their steps do not slip."

                

Reflection: Slipping: Lamentations: Prayers and Poetry

Reflection Questions 

        1. Do we trust God's version of recompense in all situations? Why? Why not?

        2. How do we recognize when we ourselves have hardened our hearts against His truth?

        3. When God doesn't respond in the ways we desire, what do we trust He will do?

Share: What work has given you the most unexpected joy that He led you to?

Slipping: Lamentations: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: Lamentations 3:64-66: "Thou will recompense them, O Lord, According to the work of their hands." 

Slipping

Lord, we need You to please keep our souls and desires to be filled with Your words and Your desires.

So that the works of our hands follow only You and not break away from Your truth and plans. So that we will not slip away onto false roads.

Help us to stay committed to whatever 'that thing' is of Your choice. Keep the work of our hands guided and cleansed by Your Spirit.
