TODAY’S TOPIC: The crooked paths
Text: Lamentations 3:1- (NIV Bible)
"3:1 I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
3:2 He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light;
3:3 indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.
3:4 He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones.
3:5 He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
3:6 He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
3:7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains.
3:8 Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.
3:9 He has barred my way with blocks of stone; he has made my paths crooked."
*SHOWER:*
Crooked paths are dishonest ways. One is said be in crooked paths due to sins. Dishonest people do not take things seriously. As a result, they are afflicted. Afflictions or pains that follow sins are too many and come in various ways. We see in today's scripture how it walled people that they cannot escape. What could cause this? Be serious and make an amend before is too late.
