Morning Light Bible StudyToday: [Lamentations 3] The Weeping Prophet Affirms the Mercy of God. Do you ever despair of living? Do you sometimes wish that you had never been born? There are times in life when we feel such things, whether they are actually warranted or not. Jeremiah in this chapter just wants to end it all and wishes no longer to live. Yet in the midst of all the darkness and devastation he witnesses in the nation and in his own life he finds the ability nonetheless to confirm the mercies of God that are new every morning both for Jeremiah centuries ago and for you and I as well, in the present day.
