A Time For Repentance.

     Why Should any living mortal, or any man,
      offer Complaint in view of his sins?
     Let us examine and probe our ways,
       and let us return to the Lord.
     We lift up our heart and hands toward
       God in heaven;
     We have transgressed and rebelled,
       You have not pardoned.
     You have covered Yourself with anger
       and pursued us;
     You have slain and not spared.
     You have covered yourself with a cloud
       so that no prayer can pass through.
     You have made us mere off-scouring,
       and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
     All of our enemies have opened their
       mouths against us.
     Panic and pitfall have befallen us,
       devastation and destruction;
     My eyes run down with streams of water
       because of the destruction of the daughter
       of my people.
     My eyes pour down unceasingly,
       without stopping,
     Until the Lord looks down and
       sees from heaven,
     My eyes bring pain to my soul
       because of the daughters of my city.
                             Lamentations 3:39-51 NASB



     These are the words of Jeremiah the weeping prophet as he weeps over the destruction and captivity of Jerusalem.
     Just as the Israelites of old abandoned the true worship of Jehovah God, so also has a large portion of the modern church.
     Where are the men and women who weep over the desolation of the house of God today? Where are those who mourn over the lack of God's presence in our midst as we come to worship with our lips but not our hearts? Where are those who will give God no rest night and day until He pours out His Spirit upon us once again?
     Rise up and seek the Lord that He may raise up His Church in holiness and power once again, that the nations would look and see that The only God is indeed on the throne today. Cry out that God would restore His people for the glory of His name. Seek Him to remove the reproach from His wayward children, so that it would not hinder others from entering into His kingdom.
     Cry out! Cry out! Stand in the gap until His righteousness falls like rain once again. Oh God revive us again for the sake of your name!
