“GOD WILL KEEP HIS WORD” Lamentations 2:17 The LORD has done what he purposed; he has carried out his word, which he commanded long ago;           Lamentations 2:17 reminds us that God always keeps His Word. Jeremiah was describing the devastation of Jerusalem and the judgment that had come upon God’s people because of their disobedience. What God had warned them about had finally happened. His Word had not failed; however, His people had failed to obey it.           This verse teaches us that God is faithful not only to His promises
