‘There Is Always A Reason!’

like their entertainment but they do not esteem the works and ways of the Lord.

1-
Exile.

(This
QT shows me that There Is Always A Reason)
‘Micah’s

Micah prayed this lament
because of all that was happening in Jerusalem and amongst God’s People.

This was happening
because they were rejecting God.

Micah lamented and
wailed.
d)
Isaiah 20:2. Micah walked
barefoot and naked.

jackal.

(Through
this Second one I know that there is sometimes a need for prayers just like
Micah’s Prayer Of Lament)

Woe comes to the
people who drink alcohol all day long. It does not matter who the person is, if
they drink alcohol every day, even though they might not be an alcoholic
(usually alcoholics also drink alone as well as socially), these people develop
a ‘drinking mind’. There are many other things that go along with drinking:
Smoking, Dubious Humour, Wrong Relationships, Family Neglect, etc. All these
things are harmful for us and woe comes eventually.
