Segment from your article which I appreciated :
"The Suffering of Jerusalem (Chapter 1)

The desolation of Jerusalem and the resulting sadness is the theme of this section. Jerusalem, once “great among the nations”
now sits as a weeping and solitary widow whom none can comfort
She has been greatly afflicted “for the multitude of her transgressions
For these things, says the prophet, “I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water
It is important that we note a valuable principle here: no matter how great one has been in the past
that status can be altered by a change in conduct
Great reputations have been destroyed almost overnight by apostasy
Too,
heartache is frequently the companion of rebellion. Sin does have its price tag
Jerusalem is The city of Jesus
Where His Holy feet have trod "




Poem for Jerusalem
Someday soon
we will be there

And as He promised
in His care



The God of Jacob made His choice

Where His people would hear His voice

His Beloved Son, Yeshua cried

Although heartbroken when He sighed



On the cross in Jerusalem City

Indeed
He was a sight of pity
But when,
He arose from the dead

He conquered all
as He said


He's coming back as a Lion

To rule and reign from Zion

As eternity
He ushers in

In New Jerusalem
Yeshua our King

I sometimes catch Alister Begg on the radio (usually in the car) and last night in his sermon he said something that struck me. That when we have problems, we will often tell everyone about them even though they don't care to know. But God is the only one who DOES want to hear about them from us, but we don't talk to Him. I think from now on I will do more lamenting to God than to others who probably can't do anything for me anyway LOL.


If anyone is curious about Alister Begg, his ministry is called Truth for Life
