This powerful passage from Lamentations captures a profound turning point in the midst of suffering. The writer begins by remembering his affliction, describing it as "wormwood and gall" – bitter substances that represent deep anguish and pain. Yet remarkably, in verse 21, there's a pivotal shift as he chooses to recall something else to mind: hope. Despite being surrounded by devastation (as Jerusalem had been destroyed), the writer declares that God's mercy and compassion are "new every morning." This contrast between deep sorrow and unwavering hope makes these verses particularly meaningful for those experiencing difficult times.
