God's FaithfulnessGood to Those Who Wait
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Even in Lamentations, Jeremiah declares that the Lord is good to those who wait for Him and seek Him earnestly.
In the midst of Jerusalem's destruction and suffering, Jeremiah finds this truth: God is good to those who wait for Him. Waiting isn't passive resignation but active trust combined with seeking. God's goodness doesn't always prevent suffering, but it sustains us through it. His faithfulness appears to those who persistently look for it.
For Today
In whatever you're waiting for today, actively seek God in the waiting rather than just enduring it, trusting His goodness will appear.
Prayer
Lord, You are good to those who wait for You. Help me wait with faith rather than frustration, seeking You earnestly and trusting Your goodness even when provision is delayed. Amen.
