Today’s Thought “History; A City Vacated” G. Ward

Lamentations 1:1 How lonely sits the city that once had many people! She has become like a widow Who was once great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become a forced laborer!

On the next two-days, Jewish people will commemorate their holy-day – Shavuot. It recalls Moses’ receiving of the Torah (the first five books of the OT). The Megillah of Ruth (The Book of Esther) is read, and all-night Torah study is customary, along with dairy food dishes, honey, and floral decorations are traditional.

Absolute recall of such (*for any – Ro.10:13) is most assuredly become more necessary than any time in history; particularly since an unfortunate, pervasive twist of Holy God’s permissiveness is highly distorted among men (cf. Ro.10:8) and whereas the chieftain in opportunity unto a personal, dependent and sacrificial surrender to Moses’ God has become ours, the need to observe HIS commandments must be pursued with greatest diligence (Heb.11:6).
