Lamentations 2:20-3:66; Psalm 102; Proverbs 26:21-22
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins? – Lamentations 3:38-39
We tend to think pretty highly of ourselves. The Scriptures give us an honest reminder that we’re not such great people, that we deserve punishment. Why is it that we are amazed when God punishes us? Shouldn’t we be amazed when God is patient with us?
Father, thank You for Your patience. Help me to accept any calamities that come my way as simple justice, and to rejoice and celebrate Your kindness every day that things go well for me.
