Wait for Him

The Lord is wonderfully good to those who wait for Him and seek Him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.

-- Lamentations 3:25-26 NLT

About this Week's Thought:

Are you a person in a hurry? If so, you may be in for a few disappointments. Why? Because life has a way of unfolding on its own timetable, not yours. That's why life requires patience....and lots of it.

Lamentations 3:25 reminds us that "The Lord is wonderfully good to those who wait for Him and seek Him. But, for most of us, waiting patiently is difficult because we're in such a hurry for things to happen!

The next time you find your patience tested to the limit, slow down, take a deep breath and relax. Sometimes life can't be hurried -- and during those times, patience is indeed a priceless virtue.
