I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.' The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord' Lamentations 3.19-26.
Amidst devastation the writer calls to mind and says to himself - the goodness of God in times of plenty will fuel our faith in times of need. God is faithful in good times and in trouble: that's grace!
