today is a lament for the world.

JESUS, our example, being led to the cross, laments about JERUSALEM. Lk 23: 28
Daughters of JERUSALEM, do not weep for ME, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For indeed the days are coming in which you will say. "Blessed are the barren, the wombs which never bore and the breasts which never nursed. ( Quote from the bk of Job chapter 3 ) then you will say to the mountains Fall on us, and unto the hills cover us.

Q: IF ... they do these things in the green wood, what will they do in the dry? ( v31)

GOD asks Jeremiah a similar question 12: 5
Q: IF... you have run with footmen and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses?
and IF....in a land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, how will you do in the flooding of the Jordan?

The world today is in a financial turmoil, so how will I handle it when it becomes a severe depression?
and how in this time of peace, in which we live, if the gangs take over our neighborhoods?

Yearly we see signs all over our province of the fire hazard. the woods are wet in winter but very dry in summer. Forest fires are a real threat.
Are we prepared for the next round?

and when we sing "Come LORD JESUS come, do we know what we are asking for?
