Text: Jeremiah lamentations. 3:21

Introduction.

What is the context of this text?

What can I bring to mind today that fills me with hope?

1.	v.22. The mercifulness of the Lord. "Compassion for the other's misery."

2.	v.25. The faithfulness of the Lord. Us unfaithful, He always faithful.

3.	v.26. To know that God is in control. Wait in silence. Like Psalm 46.

4.	v.27. Know that God is working on your character. Character. Firm will. Moral fabric.

5.	v. 32. That God has compassion. Understand everything we feel, pain and happiness.

6.	v.39. That we have to stop our complaints. Israel moaned for 40 years.

Hope: "Believe that tomorrow will be better than today. And that the day after will be even better that tomorrow."
