Has anyone ever taught you how to be sad? In a culture that preaches the power of positive thinking, most of us try to avoid things that make us sad. But throughout the bible, God's people are repeatedly commanded to lean into sadness. God commands his people to be heartbroken with him over the brokenness in our world and in us. And in Ezekiel 19, God's people are invited to do exactly this – to take up a lament (a sad song) about the desolate state of Israel and its leadership. And we're going to see how this text invites us to join in that sad song by looking honestly at the desolate state of our world and our hearts and to cry before the only one who can restore us.
