“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.” - Lamentations 3v25
It seems like every time we turn around we find the Bible talking about waiting. Waiting is obviously a part of the believer’s life, but it is something that none of us really like to do.
What us good for is however is not always easy. After he decided that the Lord would be his portion Jeremiah decided that he would put all of his hope and confidence in Him.
Then he realised something else – God is good to those who wait on the Lord and that it is good to learn to wait on Him. It does not seem to make sense that waiting is good – but God says here that it is. Waiting is a sign of faith, confidence, humility, and submission.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord – for that means he has learned to trust Him

I came across your blog through Gary's blog and this is beautiful.
In this world with instant coffee, instant noodles and instant what u want, no one would like to wait, but the Bible holds testimonies of people who waited and were blessed. Joseph 17yrs, Abraham 25 yrs and every one of them developed into wonderful, world impacting people. Beautiful post.
If we could all just learn to apply this marvelous lesson.
