22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
    his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
    “therefore I will hope in him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
    to the soul who seeks him.
26 It is good that one should wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.
27 It is good for a man that he bear
    the yoke in his youth.

(Lamentations 3)

How? How could this happen? That is literally the title of this book: How? As Jeremiah looks over the devastation of Jerusalem and the ruins of the temple, he laments, he cries out in grief: How did it ever come to this? And it's not just one cry, it's a whole series of them. But it is not an endless or hopeless temper tantrum.  He comes to realizations of the true nature of God.  He is full of love, mercy, and faithfulness to His character.  Yes, it is in times of grief we often get to know God the best.  The sooner we do so, the better.  How have you gotten to know God better through grief? Take a picture. Show & tell me.
