Lamentations 1:9 (11/11/21)
* Those who only consider the short-term consequences of their decisions may experience temporary comfort but will end up with permanent chaos.
* But those who consider the long-term consequences of their decisions may experience temporary pain but will end up with permanent gain.
* EX: Eat one dessert a day with no workout for 180 days.
* EX: Workout once a day for 180 days w/no dessert.
* EX: Would you take $1 million today or 1 penny a day for 31 days if it doubles? (Over $10 million)
* This is from compound interest - Ben Franklin tried it.
* In 1790 he left $4,000 to each to the cities of Boston and Philadelphia when he died in 1790.
* For the first 100 years they were to invest that money at 5% interest and loan it to fund entrepreneurs starting out in business.
* At 100 years they could pull out 75% and spend on public works (biz first, then roads!).
* For the next 100 years they were to invest it, and at the 200 year mark they could take the money and use it for whatever they wanted.
* In 1990 both cities received their money - Boston got $5.5 million and Philly got $2.5 million.
* Compound Interest - Principle Amount + Interest = Ending Amount
* a physical manifestation of a spiritual truth.
* When you’re faithful, God compounds it!
* Matthew 25 parable of talents - Faithfulness = MULTIPLICATION.
* You won’t multiply unless you have a long-term vision for your life that is the filter for your decisions.
* Kingdom Agenda book - what we do today determines our position in Christ’s millennial kingdom.
* BACKSTORY - Israel fell prey to the danger of not considering her future, and it cost her dearly.
* Now they had been taken away to Babylon.
* Jeremiah wrote a book of lamentations, weeping over her demise.
* It’s a book of reflection.
* Vs 1 - God punishes nations!
* Vs 5a - people who hate her rule over her.
* Vs 5b - the Lord is the one who did it.
* Vs 9 - she was near-sighted, not far-sighted.
* Hebrews 12:2 - “Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross …”
* And we today are still reaping the rewards from that decision!
