—Lamentations 3:49-57
by: Dale Rood.
This is a reference to one or more of the times when Jeremiah was thrown in prison by the leaders of his very own people. In that situation we can see him crying out to the Lord. Notice that he cried out to the Lord until he got an answer (vv. 49-50). Now consider the answer he got. Was he still in prison when he got his answer? Did his circumstances immediately change because he got his answer? What was the answer? It was two words: "Fear not" (v. 57)!
