October 8, 2028
Overview & Insights
"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning." (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Amid the book's grief, the speaker turns to recall God's steadfast love and faithfulness as grounds for hope, concluding it is good to wait quietly for the LORD's salvation; the alternate, Psalm 137, is the exiles' own raw lament by the rivers of Babylon.
