Good Monday morning! September 19th 2022

Lam 3:21  But in my mind I keep returning to something, something that gives me hope—

Lam 3:22  that the grace of Adonai is not exhausted, that his compassion has not ended.

Lam 3:23  [On the contrary,] they are new every morning! How great your faithfulness!

Lam 3:24  “Adonai is all I have,” I say; “therefore I will put my hope in him.

Lam 3:25  Adonai is good to those waiting for him, to those who are seeking him out.

Lam 3:26  It is good to wait patiently for the saving help of Adonai.

Lam 3:27  It is good for a man to bear the yoke from his youth.

Lam 3:28  Let him sit alone in silence when he has laid it on him.

Lam 3:29  Let him submit absolutely; there may yet be hope.

Lam 3:30  Let him offer his cheek to the one who strikes it, and receive his fill of insults.

Lam 3:31  For rejection by Adonai does not last forever.

Lam 3:32  He may cause grief, but he will take pity, in keeping with the greatness of his grace.

Lam 3:33  For he does not arbitrarily torment or punish human beings.
