Lamentations 5:19. "Thou, O Lord, remainest forever; thy throne from generation to generation."
REMORSE. In that long-ago time God's children thought they could do what they wanted. But the time came to pass when they reaped what they had planted. That principle remains the same today as back then. God leavers us to our own devices when we forget about Him.
What we once had is now gone with no hope of return. What we invested in the world system is just waiting to be burned. Those ambitions and material things we thought were so dear, Now is just a memory of the past, and even that is not clear.
Things that were passed down to us from those gone on before, Someone else has taken, but to them it's like dust on the floor. The meaning it held for us, reminding us of them we loved - Was spurned in the race for things our souls craved.
When it comes to facing remorse, we could go on and on. What once brought us blessing is now forever gone. And we find that hopeless feeling will no longer go away. The sense of guilt and loss is obviously here to stay.
The one steadying force that remains with us forever, Is the unchangeable God who will allow nothing to sever; Our link with Him when once we come to know Him. The things that enchanted us once; now we despise them
Far better to live without one single thing - If our eternal life with God, we can then begin. To be in fellowship with God with nothing, is a far greater blessing; Then to live without the Lord, but with all the world's window-dressing.
"O Lord God, I am thinking and praying about a brother in Christ I have met but don't know very well. I think probably around this time he is filled with remorse. Help him to be willing to return to Thee and his family, even if he has nothing left but his life. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
