Lamentations 3:51 My eye affects my heart because of all the daughters of my city. 1. Many grievous and inevitable are the troubles and miseries which God's faithful people suffer in this life. 2. The godly oppressed with miseries are often brought both to doubt and despair for the time. (1) They judge according to their present feelings. (2) Man's infirmity is naturally prone to infidelity. (3) God in His wisdom withdraweth the feeling of His grace for a time, to let them see themselves, and to make them seek to Him the more earnestly. (4) To make them more thankful for His grace when they feel it, and more careful to continue in it. (J. Udall.)
