Suffering and the Sovereignty of God

May 24, 2020 Speaker: Series: The Poetry of Pain: A Journey Through Lamentations

Topic: Default Passage: Lamentations 5:1–22, Psalm 37:4, Proverbs 3:5–6, 2 Corinthians 12:9

Some people may ask:

“If God is all powerful, and he is king, how could he allow these challenges to come into my life?”

 

Through Scripture God equips his people to bring every mood, every moment into His presence. Praise, lament, adoration, perplexity, despair, hope and commitment.

-NT Wright

Hope - 19 You, Lord, reign forever…

Despair - 20 Why do you always forget us?

Hope - 21 Restore us to yourself…

Despair -  22 unless you have utterly rejected us…

Lamentations 5:19-22
