The Lord is Righteous

Scripture Lamentations 1:18 “The LORD is righteous,
For I rebelled against His commandment.
Hear now, all peoples,
And behold my sorrow;
My virgins and my young men
Have gone into captivity.

Observation: We see all the evil around us and some ask where is God? We forget we are getting what we deserve, because the Lord is righteous and merciful. If we received all that we deserve from the evil we have done or evil we ignored none of us would exist. I’m not sure why God hasn’t put an end to this world as He did in the days of Noah, but He is patient.

Application: No matter what happens to me I must seek God and His righteousness. I realize I don’t deserve His love and why He puts up with me I don’t understand. I need to be the best child I can be for my Father and obey all of His commands. I’m her to serve not receive.

Prayer My Lord I know that you are righteous and just. I need your guidance each day to stay on the path that You have chosen for me. I love You Lord and my desire is to honor and glorify Your name.
