COULD BE US
Today's reading:  Lamentations

^" Jerusalem has sinned greatly, so she has been tossed away like a filthy rag.  All who once honored her now despise her, for they have seen her stripped naked and humiliated.  All she can do is groan
and hide her face.  She defiled herself with immorality and gave no thought to her future.  Now she lies in the gutter with no one to lift her out.  Lord, see my misery, she cries.  The enemy has triumphed.  The enemy has plundered her completely, taking every precious thing she owns.  She has seen foreigners violate her sacred Temple, the place the Lord had forbidden them to enter."  Lamentations 1:8-10 NLT

Here is the 'obituary' written for God's nation.

It clearly states her choices in the matter of turning away from God.

It bears witness to the simple fact that God did/does what He says He will do!

Couldn't it be us the verses are talking about?

Haven't we defiled ourselves?  Aren't we given to immorality?  Don't we find ourselves filthy and in the gutter at times?  Haven't we allowed our churches to be plundered by moral tolerance and the desire to be entertained?

It could be us in these verses.  It quite possibly is!
