God Laments
Manage episode 479422245 series 2538257
Like it or not, life will let us down. We all face disappointment.
Despite this, people spend their entire lives trying to avoid and outrun disappointment.
But the Bible offers a different solution.
It gives us the tools to feel and express disappointment. Tools to grieve well. Tools to lament.
But it doesn’t stop there.
In the Bible, we also find a God who sits with us in our grief and shares our disappointment.
We find a God who laments.
