The Eternal Reign of God

Read Lamentations 5:19-23

Today’s Truth

Wow, what an ending to this book. As Jeremiah lifts up his voice saying, “You, O Lord, reign forever. Your throne endures to all generations. Your kingdom reigns forever. Nothing can stop you,” the only thing that matters then is our relationship to you. So Jeremiah cries out, “God, please restore us to yourself.” This is something only God can do.

Discussion Question

Is God your only hope? Explain your answer.
Do you lift up to God the good and bad? Is that your first response? Why or why not?
How is God the only hope for our broken city, state, country, and world?

Life Application

So, we pray continually restore us to yourself, O God, that we may be restored. Draw us into closer and closer relationship with you. God, we pray. We pray this for our lives that you would help us to live in continual repentance and when and if, when we sin, God, that you would convict us and restore us to yourself immediately.

About the Author

Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
