Lamentations 3:25

Lamentations 3:25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. Let me say it right out loud: it is hard to wait on the Lord. When we have a need, we go to God in prayer. But, we want an answer right away. However, God isn’t a Genie in a bottle Who we can bring out whenever we need Him. God is the Creator of the Universe! We are the ones who must wait on Him! So why is it so hard to wait? That is because we don’t know the future. It takes time for everything to work out. And God knows what He is doing. He is working everything out for our good … but it takes time. Just like your mother baking cookies. When she puts them in the oven, you must wait … and wait … and wait. And finally, they are ready to come out. When you take the first bite of that warm cookie, it is wonderful! It was worth the wait! And so it is with life. We must wait on the Lord. He knows what is best. it just takes time.

Lamentations 3:22,23

Lamentations 3:22,23 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. God is good, all the time. And all the time, . . . what is the answer? That’s right, God is good! God is good but we are so wicked! The only way that we are not thrown into eternal fires right now is because of God’s goodness and mercifulness. And God never runs out of forgiveness and mercy! He gives us mercy over and over again. And tomorrow God will have a new supply of Goodness and mercy to give to us. Every single day, God’s goodness begins over and over again to his dear children. Remember, God is good . . . and all the time, . . .

Jeremiah 33:3

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Years ago, the phone company used words to begin phone numbers. My number when I was a boy was Trinity 7- 0977. Sometimes it was abbreviated TR7-0977, which stood for 877-0977, because the TR was the same as the numbers 87. In our verse for today, God asks us to call Him. And if we call God, what is His number? Why it’s JER 33:3! When you need to call your heavenly Father, any time of the night or day, He is available and ready to answer. You will never get a busy signal; your call will never go to an answering machine; you will never get an overseas person to take a message for God while He is away from His office. When you call upon God, He will hear you and He will answer you. You can count on Him!
