WAITING AND SEEKING
Lamentations 3:22-23
"The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who will seek Him, the Good One.
He will wait for and quietly expect
The salvation of the Lord."
Personal Challenge
Sometimes it is difficult being a Christian in the modern age where almost everything is available instantly. We have fast food, quick access to cash at the ATM, fast cars, unlimited amounts of information at our fingertips, and a myriad of other things in our lives delivered to us virtually instantly. We no longer have the patience to stand in line or to pause our busy schedule to help someone in need or spend time with our loved ones. We have lost the understanding of what it means to wait for someone or something, or in the case of this passage to wait quietly, expecting our Lord to show up in our lives. We have also lost the ability, or the desire, to seek that which is good for us because this takes time too. God is not playing some kind of cosmic hide-and-seek game with us. He is always present in our lives. The waiting and seeking we do are to prepare our hearts for Him. Glory be to God!
