Sin and its effects bring us low, yet since the Lord hears us and redeems us, we know that He will also vindicate us against our enemies.

The only way to experience hope in each and every circumstance is to have hope above and beyond each and every circumstance.

When earthly kingdoms fail and it seems that God is against us, His mercy and faithfulness never come to an end.

We lament the holy and righteous anger of God against sin and appeal to God's compassion.

We can lament the presence and consequences of sin in ourselves and in the world, because we know that, in Christ, we are never punished.

We will grieve over sin and its effects now and experience God's grace forever, or we will be content with sin and its effects and experience God's justice forever.

We can lament the presence and effects of sin because we know the presence and effects of God's redeeming Grace.

We have been subject to, and a part of, an age-old curse that believes we can be like God, but we are called to be a part of an eternal blessing that sings of the one, true God.
