Jer_48:17

How is the strong staff broken.

The strong staff and the beautiful rod

I. The purposes of our Heavenly Father in great bereavements.

1. To teach us that we should not misplace our trust.

2. To convince us of our sins and to sever us from them.

3. To teach us His own independence of the instruments He employs.

4. To remind us of the sovereignty of God.

5. To exhibit His wise and watchful providence.

II. The duties to which we are, and such scenes, specially called.

1. We are to exercise submission.

2. That we should profit by the example of those who have died in the Lord.

3. That we should cease from man and put our trust in God. (W. R. Williams.)
