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.
This is a blog that I have created for my 5 grandchildren. I have a daily Scripture verse or two along with comments and questions. Hope this encourages young people to read in their Bible every day and to meditate on God's Word.

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!
