Lamentations 1-3 and Psalms 137 describes the aftermath of the tragedy of the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC by the Babylonians. The tribulation is written in the form of poems or hymns. In the passages, the people of Jerusalem mourn their city and express their sorrow over the suffering brought by their conquerers. A main focus in the texts is God’s judgement on the people for their sinful nature. God’s wrath is exemplified through the complete dissemination through the Babylonian empire.

David declares the authority of God in these verses. The centrality of His creation to spread the good news is stated forcefully. God has no borders; the only border he runs into is our unreceptive heart. David in Psalm 's 98 and 145 calls people of all nations to know the truth of the glory of God. He wants all nations to come under one tent and sing praises to Him.

As correlated with the 23rd Psalm, David also showed his good and difficult experience when he wrote the 27th Psalm. Through this Psalm, David has presented a number of literary devices; such as use of questions, metaphor, imagery and symbolism. Verse one starts “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Here, David put forward two similar questions which relates to the statements presented before them.

The man in distress says there’s no one else who can help him besides God. By reading this, one can clearly tell that this poetic literature because of the rhymes and metaphors. Moral sense: We learn from this that God does not always answer in a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ fashion. It may be a ‘wait’ because He has something better in store.

Jesus himself came to our rescue and was willing to be pinned down by our sins on the cross yet he was able to resurrected and overcome every level of trial and tribulation he encountered. By his spirit we are able to do likewise every persevere in the midst of

This enigmatic passage unveils the profound consequences that arise from embracing God's law or succumbing to the allure of worldly desires, exposing the fragility of human existence and the imperative to align one's heart and actions with

(8:4). This psalm continues to remind us that God is mindful and caring towards humans, and humans that praise God should help the rest of what he has created by worshipping him. Psalm 8 has an attitude of worshipfulness, Psalm 137 has a very sad tone. “By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down and wept, When we remembered Zion.” (137:1).

These emotions are what the demons would use against us; fear, doubt, and our own insecurities are among their chief tools that they use to exploit us. When we allow them to fully use these tools against us, we give them the chance to lead us from God. However, we aren’t defenseless against this onslaught against our faith. The Lord has given us the tools to attack these emotions. If we allow ourselves to believe in the scripture and if we make the choice to consciously believe in His true power and righteousness for no other reason than love, then we can be wholly free from the torment of these

1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” As Christians pay attention and beware of the spiritual dangers that surround each of us in

The thoughts that the author shares are so revolutionary yet they are so common sense. I have been taught my whole life in the church that the weak things of the world are the strong things of the lord. The apostle Paul even goes so far to say, “Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” Only now am I starting to see how this is a true principle. Many people who face challenges in their lives will eventually give in and live in a state of victimization.

Many times, especially at Bible College it gets monotonous and even robotic to say that Jesus is the reason why we have peace with the Father as it is said many times and loses its meaning. While reading up and researching for this, the love and appreciation I have for all that Jesus went through for me personally is exhilarating and rekindles the appreciation I have for all that He has done. Secondly, this helps to get me more confident as I add to reasons as to why Jesus is the messiah long awaited for. Growing up in a Christian household, I have just believed and shared that Jesus is the messiah because it was what was told to me as child. Now in researching it and seeing for myself that Jesus corresponds to a prophecy that was written about 700 years before is mind-blowing and helps me to be way more cemented in my

" That’s exactly happened to those three men under that tree. The world has plenty of obstacles in it. Most individuals use the church to face those obstacles. If one gives an individual words that cannot give someone hope or faith.

Throughout life, people are often faced with many decisions. Some of these decisions are easy to make, while others are excruciating, as they can be life altering. From a Christian’s perspective, however, people never have to make these decisions alone. God promises that he will never abandon his people, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (New International Version, Deuteronomy 31:6).
