Good Morning. In Lam. 4:22 the word of the Lord said, “The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.” Matthew Henry in his commentary on this text said, “The destruction of the Edomites was foretold by this prophet (Jer. 49:7. etc.), and the people of God must encourage themselves against their present rudeness and insolence with the prospect of it. 1. It will be a shameful destruction: The cup that shall pass unto thee shall intoxicate thee (and that is shame enough to any man); thou shalt be drunken, quite infatuated, and at thy wits end, shalt stagger in all thy counsels and stumble in all thy enterprises, and then, as Noah when he was drunk, thou shalt make thyself naked and expose thyself to contempt. Note, Those who ridicule Gods people will justly be left to themselves to do that, some time or other, by which they will be made ridiculous. 2. It will be a righteous destruction. God will herein visit thy iniquity and discover thy sins; he will punish them, and, to justify himself therein, he will discover them, and make it to appear that he has just cause thus to proceed against them. Nay, the punishment of the sin shall so exactly answer the sin that it shall itself plainly discover it. Sometimes God does so visit the iniquity that he that runs may read the sin in the punishment. But, sooner or later, sin will be visited and discovered, and all the hidden works of darkness brought to light.” God will rescue His people from all their problems. We just need to continue to trust in the Lord with all our heart. He will carry you - https://youtube/watch?v=sx9zVbBbiRc Have a blessed and Holy Spirit filled day.
