My first read and WOW! It was my turn in my men's fellowship group to pick a devotional to comment on and I used Lamentations 3:22-23. Then I download this app and again Lamentations crosses my path. I need to listen.

I’ve been blessed with a great career but my position was eliminated 10 months ago and I remain unemployed. I’ve been praying diligently to understand the lesson God is trying to teach me and to understand the plan he has for me but I can’t seem to find the answer to either question. Please pray for clarity and wisdom for what God wants me to do.

Everyday these speak to me in one way or another. Had an ugly breakup and some lies come my way lately and it’s been hard. I know it’ll eventually get back to normalcy regarding how i feel but lately I’ve felt a cloud of bitterness surround me. Thank you for these. They’re a God send. Literally!

Sometimes we have difficulty to stop to punish ourselves. God discipline us for we wake up, then we have to be open to receive his love for us with his mercy. Once we have seen what we have to change, let be happy because God is saving us of the troubles. Joy us for his fidelity! Our confidence in the Lord is to receive mercy and grace of his son Jesus!! Bless you!

How true it is that God disciplines His children! Like my earthly father disciplined me as a child, the Lord continues to discipline me when I get off track. I have seen these truths through my lousy choices but His love has always been the answer to get me back where I need to be.

Hebrews 12:5-11 talks about sin, and how God disciplines His Children because of it. My favorite part of that scripture in verse 8 says that if we’ve never been disciplined by God then we are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters. Thank you Father for your holy discipline, although not pleasant while we go through it, but because you love us that much….

Our Father reminded me this morning of a simple truth I let slip my mind at times...OUR FUTURE TOGETHER IS ETERNAL...Thank you Lord God!!!

12/365: Trouble Doesn't Last Forever

For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone. ~ Lamentations 3: 31-33

Rainy days will come and go. In the midst of our trouble, it may seem as if God is being harsh. Rest assured, God isn't harsh, but consistent with His truth - because He loves us.

If you are on a long-dark road today, remember that God does not willingly bring pain and grief. Sometimes we bring the pain due to some pretty lousy choices on our part.

So don't blame God for being consistent with His truth. Pray to receive His truth.

GO DEEPER: Hebrews 4: 13-16

NEXT STEP: Set aside 5 minutes today and have an honest conversation with God about your future together.
