Lamentations 4

10 The hands of the compassionate women
Have cooked their own children;
They became food for them
In the destruction of the daughter of my people.
17 Still our eyes failed us,
Watching vainly for our help;
In our watching we watched
For a nation that could not save us.
18 They tracked our steps
So that we could not walk in our streets.
Our end was near;
Our days were over,
For our end had come.
19 Our pursuers were swifter
Than the eagles of the heavens.
They pursued us on the mountains
And lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord,
Was caught in their pits,
Of whom we said, "Under his shadow
We shall live among the nations."
21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom,
You who dwell in the land of Uz!
The cup shall also pass over to you
And you shall become drunk and make yourself naked.
22 The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished,
O daughter of Zion;
He will no longer send you into captivity.
He will punish your iniquity,
O daughter of Edom;
He will uncover your sins!

Israel has truly paid double for her sins; and it is far from over in that regard. If Israel has suffered such, and she being the natural seed, how shall we in the West escape!!! We have had the light of the glorious gospel preached from sea to shining sea. Yet, we are ready to elect a President and Vice President that are pro abortion; even late term abortion, pro gay rights, pro gay marriage and pro everything that God is against. Yet, over 80% of the American public say they believe in God!!! WHAT GOD!!
Or which God???

How the mighty have fallen. Instead of sack cloth and ashes we are worried about our stock portfolio, retirement and the rising price of gas and cost of living.

God has a way of straightening out our priorities; and He will-It WILL NOT be a pleasant experience. He has been doing a number on me of late; and it aches and brings one to their knees.

AMEN ,
Thank God that He is working in your life.
It's always a painful process Unlike the false advertizing and lies of the comfort driven apostate Church and their broad way's which leads to hell.
Sadly the majority want nothing to do with the real God,the truth, and He has obliged them and left them to their delusions which lead them to their destruction.
