We Wait with Eager Expectation
Two weeks ago, Trace left us asking the question ‘where is our foundation?’ It’s a question God’s people grapple with in chapter 4, and it is answered in chapter 5. When all is stripped back, where else are God’s people to go? In the midst of suffering, in the confusion of judgment, what is the people’s request of God? Our natural assumption would be the restoration of their material possessions and social structures… their land, the temple, homes, basic living supplies, health, safety and security. It’s striking that none of those are asked for. As God’s people face exile at the hands of the Babylonians, they turn in prayer to the only one who can aid them. They turn to Yahweh, their covenant keeping God. Lamentations 5 ends with a longing that God would restore His people to Himself. Hope that their covenant-keeping God who kept His promise of judgment would also keep His promise of restoration.
Scripture References: Lamentations 5:1-22, Leviticus 26:13-46, Psalms 111:1-10
