Sermon Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:25

Lamentations 3:25 Throughout the Scriptures the two terms, seeking and waiting, run parallel as describing prayer, earnest and effectual prayer, in all its acts and offices. The command to seek the Lord and the command to wait on the Lord have the same general meaning, and the same general promises are given to each. But in this passage they are for once combined; their combination suggesting a certain difference between them and the perfection of devotion which results from their union. I.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:26

Lamentations 3:26 I. The first thing is to understand what is meant by "the salvation of the Lord." The salvation of the Lord here is something else than the first view which a sinful man obtains of pardon and peace, through "the great God our Saviour." It is the salvation which a man needs in any crisis of life, where he suffers under trial or is threatened with it. And, in those trials, hope and quiet waiting do not come at once into their fullest exercise. As long as human means can avail,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:27

Lamentations 3:27 I. It is good for a man to bear in his youth the yoke of subjection to authority. If he does not learn this lesson early, he will suffer for it by-and-by. II. It is good for a man to bear in his youth the yoke of self-restraint. It is not enough to be under the rule of others. Let such authority be ever so great, there is still a sphere to which it cannot extend, and in which there is scope for a man's own conscience to assert its command. There are, with all of us, desires... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:39

Lamentations 3:39 This question suggests two considerations; each of which demonstrates the injustice of the complaint Why should a living man complain? A living man! Life is still left thee; and of whatsoever thou hast been stripped, there is such a counterpoise in the continuance of life that complaint must be groundless. " A man for the punishment of his sins. " There hath nothing befallen thee save the just recompense of thy misdoing. How can a complaint against justice be itself just.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:40

Lamentations 3:40 The prophet calls his countrymen to a work to which they needed to be exhorted and pressed; and well he might do so, for the work of self-examination is not at all an agreeable work. Some religious works are agreeable; for example, the meditation on God's goodness, and the benefits He has bestowed upon us. "A joyful and pleasant thing it is to be thankful." But it is not a joyful and pleasant thing to consider closely our own way, and see how we have behaved ourselves towards... read more

DISCOURSE: 1091THE VIEWS OF A SAINT IN HIS AFFLICTIONSLamentations 3:22-23. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.IT is in affliction chiefly that the children of God attain to any considerable eminence in religion. By trouble, they are led to realize their principles; and to seek at the fountain-head those consolations which the broken cisterns of this world are no longer able to supply. If... read more

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.“THE earth,” we are told, “is full of the goodness of the Lord [Note: Psalms 33:5.]:” and indeed it is not possible to behold the universe at large, or to inspect with accuracy any thing that is contained in it, without being convinced that God is good to all, and that his tender mercy is over all his works [Note: Psalms 145:9.]” But to the humble... read more

He putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.THERE are in the Holy Scriptures many passages which appear strange and paradoxical, but which do indeed contain the most important truths. “It is better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting,” says Solomon: and... read more

DISCOURSE: 1094COMFORT FOR THE AFFLICTEDLamentations 3:31-33. The Lord will not cast off for ever: but though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.THE Prophet Jeremiah was, perhaps, above all other prophets, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. It is possible, indeed, that in this chapter he may speak in part as a representative of the Hebrew nation; but still there is so... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Lamentations 3:28-29

Solitude, Silence, Submission June 13th, 1886 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope." Lamentations 3:28-29 . Thus the prophet describes the conduct of a person in deep anguish of heart. When he does not know what to do, his soul, as if by instinct, humbles itself. He gets into some secret place, he utters no speech, he gives himself over to moaning and to tears, and... read more
