Lamentations 3:60-61




60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me

 61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;


60. imaginations—devices (Jer 11:19).

Their vengeance—means their malice. Jeremiah gives his conduct, when plotted against by his foes, as an example how the Jews should bring their wrongs at the hands of the Chaldeans before God.


Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me.



Thanks for coming by, Friends. Have a great rest of your day. God bless you!

Lamentations 3:59




59 O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.

Verse 59. - Thou hast seen my wrong. Here the speaker returns to the present. This is clear from the following words: Judge thou my cause

(King James Bible)


60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.

Thou hast seen all their vengeance,.... The spirit of revenge in them; their wrath and fury, and how they burn with a desire of doing mischief; as well as their revengeful actions, carriage, and behavior:

and all their imaginations against me; their secret contrivances of mischief, their plots and schemes they devise to do hurt unto me.

Romans 8:31,35,,38-39

 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8;31


Verse  35: Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulations? Or calamity and distress?  Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?

Verse 38-39: For I am persuaded beyond doubt that neither death nor life,  nor angels,  nor principalities,  nor things impending and threatening,  nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height,  nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 


Good evening friends.  I am so sorry to be late again tonight.  It's been a busy day. But I'm so thankful for what we see in this passage.  That nothing can separate us from God's love! Amen!

Have a blessed night. I will be back in Lamentations again tomorrow,  Lord willing.

Thou drewest near in the day that I called : thou saidst, Fear not.O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. Lamentations 3:57-58



There was a time when I was in distress, and called upon time, and thou didst draw near unto me. God is never far off from any of us, as to his essential presence; nor is it possible that he should, for he filleth all places. But he is said to be near us or far off from us, as he manifests, or doth not manifest, his goodness to us by acts of gracious providence: of that drawing near the text speaketh. God being infinite in goodness and mercy, is spoken of as absent from those persons and places where he is not showing mercy, and present only there where he showeth forth his goodness, and to be drawing nigh to them to whom he beginneth to show mercy.

Thou saidst, Fear not; thou didst encourage me formerly upon my prayer. upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

(verse 57)
Thou hast been wont to take my part against my enemies, not like a lawyer by word of mouth, but actually and really pleading my cause. Thou hast redeemed my life; thou hast saved me from many a danger which looked fatally upon me.

(verse 58)


My notes:

God is always just a whisper away. In the darkest of night, the sunlight of day. He is ready to hear from us. Ready to be a help in time of trouble. Ready to comfort us in times of sorrow. 
And ready to bless us. We just need to call on Him.

Thanks for coming by today, Friends. Take care and God bless the rest of your day!

John 14:2-3

 In My Father's house are many homes. If it were not so, I would have told you;  for I am going to prepare a place for you. And when I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. John 14:2-3


Are you looking for that day to come, Friends.  I know I am.  This is a promise we can count on. 


Thanks for coming. I will be back in Lamentations tomorrow. 

God Bless!

1 Timothy 2:5

 For there is only one God, and only one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.  1 Tim. 2:5.


There are no other gods whereby we can be saved.  There is no other that can forgive our sins. 

To enter the Kindom of God, we must accept Jesus Christ

I apologize for posting this late. It has been a long but wonderful day with my family.  

God bless you!

Lamentations 3:55-56





55 I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.

56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry   Lamentations 3:55-56

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:55-66 Faith comes off conqueror, for in these verses the prophet concludes with some comfort. Prayer is the breath of the new man, drawing in the air of mercy in petitions, and returning it in praises; it proves and maintains the spiritual life. He silenced their fears and quieted their spirits. Thou saidst, Fear not. This was the language of God's grace, by the witness of his Spirit with their spirits. And what are all our sorrows, compared with those of the Redeemer? He will deliver his people from every trouble and revive his church from every persecution. He will save believers with everlasting salvation, while his enemies perish with everlasting destruction.


Thanks for stopping by today, friends. Have a blessed day!
