Teaching
Use every life experience to teach your children about God’s ways. It’s in the Bible, Deuteronomy 6:7, TLB. “You must teach them to your children and talk about them when you are at home or out for a walk; at bedtime and the first thing in the morning.”
Keep teaching the truth because it is always just one generation away from extinction. It’s in the Bible, Judges 2:10, TLB. “But finally all that generation died; and the next generation did not worship Jehovah as their God and did not care about the mighty miracles He had done for Israel.”
Teaching is effective when obedience follows. It’s in the Bible, Matthew 7:24, TLB. “All who listen to My instructions and follow them are wise, like a man who builds his house on solid rock.”

Lamentations
Lamentations is really a collection of five poems, probably written by Jeremiah. These five poems include some of the most painful language in all of Scripture.
The kingdom of Judah had come to an end after invasion by a foreign king. The practice of their religion at Solomon’s temple had ceased because the temple had burned. And the city of Jerusalem—all its houses and shops and even its great walls—was in ruins.
Jeremiah, in the book of Lamentations, poured all his sorrow into its five poems. And yet, they’re not without hope. In the middle of the third poem, a burst of sunlight breaks through the sorrow:
“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22, 23).
No matter how bad life gets, we can say, “Great is thy faithfulness. Thy blessings are new every morning.” We have the promise that after every storm comes the sunshine.
