Lamentations 5:2-3


We, as professing Christians, should be a source of knowledge concerning the things of the Body of Christ. When we fail to shine the light of God’s Love for mankind  we are no longer helpful to His Kingdom. Hold firmly to the Holy Spirit who will guide us and teach us the Word of God made flesh...Jesus Christ.

We are the hands and feet of Christ.

Widows and orphans were among the most vulnerable groups in ancient Near Eastern society. Biblical law made special allowances for their care (Deut 24:19–21), and their oppression was symptomatic of a society that had lost sight of God’s ethical ideals (Isa 1:23). The losses inflicted on Judah through destruction and exile has reduced the people to a vulnerable state. Faith life Bible.

The Promised Land had been a gift from the Lord to Abraham. This inheritance was a kind of “down payment” on the future reign of God that would include the restoration of His people to that land. God demonstrated that He owned all nations and that Israel was to be His instrument for blessing all the nations on the earth. Yet in their present condition, the people of Israel seemed to be the most helpless of all people. NKJ Bible.

Lamentations 5:2-3

Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens, And our houses to foreigners.We have become orphans and waifs,Our mothers are like widows
