39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?40 Let us search and try our ways and turn again to the Lord.41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. Lamentations 3:39-41
a. Let us search out and examine our ways and turn back to the LORD: Even under the great sense that God was their opponent and adversary (Lamentations 3:1-18), Jeremiah recommended the proper and humble approach.
b. Search out and examine our ways: Sins must not be casually and superficially confessed and dealt with. We don’t live constantly focused on our sins and failings, but there are appropriate times to carefully, deliberately search out and examine our ways.
c. And turn back to the LORD: All the self-examination in the world does little good if it does not lead us back to this place. We should, we must, turn away from sin and self and turn back to the LORD.
