—Lamentations 3:25-33
by: Dale Rood.
How refreshing this passage is! That is not to say that it is all peaches and cream. Notice in verses 31-33 that our God is a God of mercy. He gets no joy in "zapping" his people. With our God, mercy triumphs over judgment. See James 2:13. Oh, that is good to know! Even in the hard times, we can know that ultimately we will experience God's mercy. The Lord is good to us. Note verse 25. What stance do we need to take in order to appropriate his goodness?
