I have been reading a lot of the books of the prophets, and all I can say is wow, they had a hard row to hoe; reading Lamentations, Isaiah, Jeremiah - these guys really felt the blows that God dealt them thru the punishments God layed on His people.
I am not sure, but what can we learn from the prophets? I mean today, we accept and receive Christ's sacrifice for our sin, and we forget the past, and move ahead, looking for the prize set before us. How much are we supposed to dwelve into the sufferings of the prophets before enough is enough? Before our Heavenly Father reminds us He is doing a new work in our midst, do we perceive it? Sorry I can't find the verses to some of this.
I am pretty stuck in 1st gear, and I have, thru reading these book, had a new sense of my sinfulness. I've been brought pretty low. I think I need to return to Jesus, because I know He cares for me.
