Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: “A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children: she refused to be consoled, because they were no more.” Matthew 2:17, 18
Lord just reading this makes me feel so sad. I can feel the sadness of the people of that day that had their male children killed in Herod’s quest to kill You. What an evil, jealous man. He wanted to have the limelight and You were taking it away from him even though You were just a baby. This is all so hard to understand. Pain…..oh the pain these people went through.
Thank You Lord for being with those that were suffering then and for being with us today when we are hurting and sad.
Thank You for the comfort You alone can bring in our broken environment.
Thank You that You never leave us or forsake us.
We know You are always there. Thank You.
Thank You Lord.
