Lamentations 1;1-2
1 How lonely sits the city
that was full of people!
How like a widow has she become,
she who was great among the nations!
She who was a princess among the provinces
has become a slave.2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
with tears on her cheeks;
among all her lovers
she has none to comfort her;
all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
they have become her enemies.
It amazes me how this passage from more than 2000 years ago could have easily been ripped from today's headlines. A nation who turns their back on God is a nation in desperate need of a savior. It was true then and it is true today. Tonight I'm praying that our Nation would turn back to God and recognize that without Him there is no tomorrow worth having.
