It’s Good To Wait

August 18, 2025

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. Lamentations 3:25

We live in a time when everything is quick fast and in a hurry. We spend our money at fast food restaurants because we do not want to wait for food to be cooked. We put more things in the microwave, than we do in the oven simply because it is quicker. We receive and pay bills online because we do not want to wait for them to come in the mail or go to the post office and buy a stamp. We do o line banking, emails, and social networking, because it is faster than mailing a letter. With everything happening at a snap of our fingers, waiting becomes more difficult because we are not accustomed to waiting. Some may even say why wait when you can get it right now, but we must also remember, good things come to those that wait. The Scripture reminds us that the Lord is good to them that wait for Him, and to the soul that will seek Him. I encourage you today to wait on The Lord. Things may not be happening as quickly as you want them to and you are tempted to take matters into your own hands, but wait on The Lord. The Lord has not forgotten about you, He will make ways for you. The Lord will keep you when you need to be kept, and hold you in the midnight hour. Wait on The Lord to open doors for you, and carve ways in the desert for you. The Lord is good to you when you can wait on Him, and seek Him in all you do. Seek The Lord when things are good and bad. Seek Him when you need direction and when you need comfort for your life. Seek Him every day for everything and know He will make a way for you. Trust The Lord, and wait on Him, and He will bring it all to pass. Waiting may not be fun, but I will wait on The Lord and trust Him to bring me through. I will seek Him not for everything in my life. Since I am waiting on The Lord and seeking after Him always, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for being patient with me. While I am wanting everything quickly you have been patient with me, and I am grateful. Lord, bless me while I wait on you. Bless me while I seek you and know that you will be found because you are always near. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
