Following his moving literary work recorded in the Old Testament as the book of Lamentations, the world coined the word, ‘jeremiad’, to describe any literature that mourns a tragedy. There are few written works that portray the despair and loss Judah suffered at the hands of the enemy.\r\n\r\nIn our text, Jeremiah had repeatedly warned of the dire consequences of the disobedience of his people to the laws of God. He spoke of their rebellion and rejection of His ways. Jeremiah delivered the Lord’s stern plea asking them to forsake their apostasy or face the disastrous results of a 70-year captivity. They ignored him and threw the Lord’s messenger into prison, threatening to kill him.\r\n\r\nJeremiah did not budge. He preached until God’s word was fulfilled, with Jerusalem overrun and the great Temple, razed. He lamented in the wake of the massive ruin and desolation of his compatriots. It is impossible for the recalcitrant sinner to escape divine judgment.\r\nDaily Manna Devotional | DCLM | 6th August 2022 — Needless Suffering\r\n\r\n\r\nStill, as he concluded his dirge, Jeremiah asked the loving and compassionate God to put upon His people, the spirit of penitence and supplication, so they would ask to return to Him and again experience the joy of the days of old. The believer ought not to learn of the mercy of his Redeemer only after he has been whipped by the devil when he strays into his territory through the sin of disobedience.\r\n\r\nTHOUGHT FOR THE DAY:\r\nPeople suffer needlessly through careless living.\r\n\r\nTHE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:\r\nJohn 13-15\r\n\r\n\r\nTHE SALVATION PRAYER\r\nThank you for reading Devotional Here Today On Impacttunes.

I accept that I am not in tune with You and that I desire to be. Please forgive me for all of my sins. According to the Bible, if I confess with my lips, \"Jesus is Lord,\" and believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, I will be saved.\r\n"
