Will Not Cast Off -Lamentations 3:31-32

This is a continuation of the past couple posts, from Lamentations 3.

"For the Lord will not cast off forever. Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies."

Wait For and Seek Him -Lamentations 3:25-26

I didn't really write anything about the verses I posted yesterday, so today's post kinda will include something I wanted to share from the last post...

I found these verses so amazing in Lamentations....these verses are dead smack right in the middle of judgement God was proclaiming towards Jerusalem for all of their sin. And in seeing the verses I posted about last night, it gave complete new meaning to the phrase "Great is Your Faithfulness." That even in the midst of God's Judgment towards Israel, God was faithful to show mercy. He could of just killed them instantly. However, as the verses said about God's compassions, "They are new every morning." Wow.

Which brings me to the verses I wanted to share tonight.

"The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord."

If only our reaction when we went through tough times wasn't to try to work through things on our own strength, or to seek man's wisdom...

These verses reminds us to wait on Him, to seek Him. As we do that, we can rest in God's goodness promised towards us.

Wait for the Salvation of the Lord!

Great is Your Faithfulness! -Lamentations 3:22-23

"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness."
